We know that ultra-violet light, X-rays and gamma rays have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelengths) than visible light.

What type of word describes the electromagnet waves with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?

Shorter wavelengths means higher frequency, and electromagnetic waves with higher energy. Beyond the blue end of the visible light you have ultraviolet rays; X-rays; and gamma-rays, in that order.


What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?

There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.


What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?

Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.


Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?

No, ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light. Visible light falls within the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths below 400 nanometers.


Which photons have greater energy those associated with microwaves or those asociated with visible light?

Photons associated with visible light have greater energy than those associated with microwaves. Visible light photons have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths, while microwave photons have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths. The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency, so higher frequency photons carry more energy.

Which frequency of electromagnetism has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light?

Ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays do.


When describes the changes in visible light moving from red to violet?

As visible light moves from red to violet, its wavelength decreases and its frequency increases. This causes the color to change from longer, lower-energy wavelengths (red) to shorter, higher-energy wavelengths (violet). Red light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency, while violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency.


What waves are on either side of the visible spectrum?

Ultraviolet (UV) waves are on the higher frequency side of the visible spectrum, while infrared (IR) waves are on the lower frequency side. UV waves have shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light, while IR waves have longer wavelengths and lower energy.

Does xrays have a lower frequency?

Compared to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays have a high frequency. Only gamma rays have a higher frequency.


Why do short wavelengths have more energy than long wavelengths?

Shorter wavelengths have more energy than longer wavelengths because they have higher frequency. According to the equation E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency, energy is directly proportional to frequency. So, higher frequency (shorter wavelength) means higher energy.

What did you observe with the wavelength and frequency of the different colors?

Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies, so violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than red light. In the visible spectrum, red light has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while violet light has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or microwave?

Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency than microwaves. Ultraviolet light falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves which have lower frequency and longer wavelengths.


If the wavelengths were shortened would the frequency be higher or lower?

If the wavelengths were shortened, the frequency would be higher. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other - as one increases, the other decreases. Shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and vice versa.


Does Infra red or yellow light have a higher frequency?

No, infrared radiation (IR) does not have a higher frequency than visible light. Visible light is above IR on the electromagnetic spectrum. It (visible light) has higher frequency and shorter wavelengths than IR radiation does.


Does waves with longer wave lengths have a higher frequency that waves with shorter wave lenghts?

No, waves with longer wavelengths have lower frequencies and waves with shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength in a wave.
