Which two waves lie at the ends of the visible spectrum?

What are the two waves that lie at the ends of the visible spectrum?

Red at the low frequency end and violet at the high frequency end.


What are colors of the visible lights spectrum from longets to shortest wavelength?

The longest wavelength that's visible to your individual eyes is that of the last color you can see on the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength that's visible to your individual eyes is that of the last color you can see on the blue end of the spectrum. Between those lie every color you can name, every color you have ever seen, every color that any paint manufacturer can mix, and every color that any fabric designer can dye or weave. There are an infinite number of them, it's not possible to list them, and the vast majority of them don't even have names.


What is the different segements of the visible spectrum in order from shortest wavelength to longest wavelength?

The visible light with the shortest wavelength (highest frequency) is the last color you can see on the blue end of the visible spectrum. The visible light with the longest wavelength (lowest frequency) is the last color you can see on the red end of the visible spectrum. In between those limits lie every color perceptible to the human eye ... every shade of paint that has ever been mixed, and every hue of fabric ever dyed. The ones that have names and the millions of others that haven't been named. Some are so close together that average, untrained human eyesight can't tell them apart, but they're different colors nonetheless because their wavelengths are slightly different. The visible spectrum is "continuous", with no 'segments'. Obviously, no complete list is possible. "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet" worked fine in the 4th Grade, but it doesn't begin to scratch the surface.


What are 3 things that we can learn about a star by observing it's spectrum?

By observing far away stars in our galaxy through a spectroscope, we are able to see the spectrum that appears from the substances in these stars. Each element has a unique spectrum when light is shone through it, so we are able to determine what elements make up certain stars.

Which two waves lie at the end of the visible spectrum?

Ultraviolet (UV) and infrared waves lie at the end of the visible spectrum. UV waves have shorter wavelengths than violet light, while infrared waves have longer wavelengths than red light.

What colors are beyond the ends of the rainbow?

A purely scientific answer is that there are no more colours beyond what you see in a rainbow. The rainbow constitutes the visible spectrum, meaning that it is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye as light. Beyond the red 'end' of the spectrum is Infra Red Radiation and beyond the violet 'end' is Ultra-Violet and beyond that X-rays. There is a Wikipedia article about the electromagnetic spectrum here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum


What is a very narrow range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see?

The visible light spectrum is the narrow range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see, typically between 400 to 700 nanometers. Beyond this range lie ultraviolet and infrared radiation, which are invisible to the human eye.


Waves used for broadcastig radio signals are called what?

The waves used to broadcast radio signals are called RF waves and these generally lie in VHF and UHF band of electromagnetic spectrum.

In the middle


Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do the atomic emission spectra show?

Atomic emission spectra show specific wavelengths of light emitted by atoms when electrons transition from higher energy levels to lower ones. These spectra typically lie in the visible and ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
