Red light has a wavelength of approximately 700 nm(which corresponds to a frequency of about 430 THz), while green light would be about 535 nm(frequency of 560 THz).
Doppler formula for the blueshift effect is:
f'=(c/(c+v)) * f, so we get:
v = c * ((f/f')-1)
v is radial speed from source to observer. Negative v indicates the velocity vector has to point towards source.
Calculating:
v = -0.232 c , which would be about 70000 km/s.
What else can I help you with?
What is the speed of red light?
The wavelength is about 400nm, it's very easy to get the frequency with this data.
What speed can a infra red light reach up to?
There's no reason that infrared light should move at a speed different from the speed of any other wavelength of light, or for that matter, the speed of any other form of electromagnetic radiation. The speed of infrared light is simply the speed of light in whatever medium it happens to find itself at the moment.
Which one is faster infra red light or light?
All electromagnetic (EM) radiation travels at the same speed in a vacuum. However in a different medium, for example a glass triangular prism, the speed depends on the frequency of the EM radiation, and on the material it travels through. Generally for transparent materials, infra-red will travel faster than visible light. This frequency dependence of the speed is what causes dispersion and can be seen in rainbows.
As you move from the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum to the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the frequency of the light?
colour blue ------> red frequency drops, wavelength increases, because speed remains constant and speed=frequency*wavelength
Is speed of violet light different from red light in glass?
Yes, the speed of violet light in glass is higher than the speed of red light. This is due to the phenomenon of dispersion, where different colors of light are refracted at different angles as they pass through a medium, causing them to travel at different speeds.
Speed of red light and blue light in a vacuum?
In a vacuum the speed of red and blue light are the same as all light, 300,000,000m/s. Their frequency and wavelength will be different but the speed remains the same.
In what situation is the speed of waves of red light exactly equal to the speed of blue light?
speed of light is always the same, regardless of frequency/colour.
Does red light travel faster than blue light?
No. All colors travel at the same speed. It is called "the speed of light".
What is the speed of red color?
Although we can see red-it is not what is actually there-we reinterrupt a series of greys as red. It turns out we can distinguish natural light much better because we 'colour code' it. The grey we interrupt as red. It is a frequency of light, rather than an actual speed, from 630-740 nanometres.
How fast would you have to drive in order to see a red light as green?
To see a red light as green, you would have to drive at a speed faster than the speed of light, which is not possible according to the laws of physics.
Red light and yellow light have same speed?
Yes. Different wavelengths though.
Is red light slower than blue light?
No. Light travels at the same speed, regardless of color.
Which has a higher velocity blue light or red light?
Both blue and red light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s). However, blue light has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to red light.
Are red light cameras use infrared or flash cameras?
Red light cameras are usually high speed video cameras that use ambient light.
What light travels the fastest red or yellow?
they both travel at the same speed ? :>)
Why do red light waves travel faster than blue light waves?
Red light waves and blue light waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum, which is the speed of light (about 299,792 km/s). The perception that red light travels faster could be due to differences in how the human eye perceives the colors or how the waves interact with materials.
What speed does red light travel in space?
In vacuum, such as in space, red light travels at the same speed as a Channel 47 digital color HDTV signal. That speed is 299,792,458 meters per second, or 186,282 miles per second.
