What is the range of wavelengths for violet light?

As stated earlier: Violet light: 380-450 nm Red light: 620-750 nm nm=nanometer=10-9 meter


What is the range of wavelengths of visible light How do these wavelengths compare with those of audible sound?

The range of wavelengths of visible light is approximately 380 to 750 nanometers (nm). In comparison, the wavelengths of audible sound typically range from about 1.7 centimeters (17,000 nm) for high frequencies to about 17 meters (17,000,000 nm) for low frequencies. Thus, visible light wavelengths are significantly shorter than those of audible sound, with light being several orders of magnitude smaller.


Does Heat have shorter wavelengths than visible light?

No. Heat is infrared radiation ("infra" means "lower"). Lower frequency means longer wavelength. All radiation is captured by antennas that resonate at the frequency of the radiation. The "antennas" for visible light are electrons that use the radiation to jump into excited states and cause optical neurons to fire. The "antennas" of heat (infrared) are bigger -- they are molecules that jiggle faster when the radiation hits them. That jiggling is heat.


Visible light contains various wave lengths what are the wavelengths in nanometers?

Visible light wavelengths range from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. This corresponds to violet light at the shortest wavelengths and red light at the longest wavelengths in the visible spectrum.


What measurement is used for the wavelengths of color?

The measurement used for the wavelengths of color is typically in nanometers (nm). Each color has a specific range of wavelengths in the visible spectrum, with red having longer wavelengths around 700 nm and violet having shorter wavelengths around 400 nm.

What wavelengths are shorter than visible light?

Wavelengths shorter than visible light include ultraviolet (UV) light, X-rays, and gamma rays. UV light has wavelengths ranging from about 10 nm to 400 nm, while X-rays range from approximately 0.01 nm to 10 nm, and gamma rays are even shorter, typically less than 0.01 nm. These wavelengths are shorter than the visible spectrum, which ranges from about 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red).


What wavelengths of light can the human eye percieve?

The human eye can perceive light wavelengths ranging from approximately 380 nanometers (nm) to about 750 nm. This range encompasses the visible spectrum, which includes colors from violet (shorter wavelengths) to red (longer wavelengths). Beyond this range, ultraviolet light (below 380 nm) and infrared light (above 750 nm) are not visible to the human eye.


What wavelengths of raidiant energy are visible to humans?

Who has a shorter wavelength radio or ultraviolet?

Ultraviolet has a shorter wavelength than radio waves. Ultraviolet waves have shorter wavelengths ranging from about 10 nm to 400 nm, while radio waves have much longer wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to over 100 kilometers.


What are the wave lengths of the different colors of light?

- Long wavelengths - Mid-size wavelengths - Short wavelengths The reddish colors are the long wavelengths, the mid-size wavelengths are the greenish colors and the short wavelengths are the bluish colors.


How do wavelengths of infrared light compared to wavelengths of ultraviolet light?

Infrared light has longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet light. Infrared light ranges from about 700 nm to 1 mm, while ultraviolet light ranges from about 10 nm to 400 nm. Ultraviolet light has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than infrared light.


What wavelengths of light can humans see?

Humans can see light with wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers. This corresponds to the colors of the visible spectrum: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Wavelengths shorter than 400 nm (ultraviolet) and longer than 700 nm (infrared) are invisible to the human eye.


Where does visible light fall on electromagnetic spectrum?

Visible light falls between the wavelengths of 380 nm and 760 nm in the electromagnetic spectrum.


What wavelengths correspond to the color spectrum?

Roughly, the spectrum wavelengths are the speed of light divided by the frequency, c/f; 300M/400T=.75 micrometers for Red and 300M/800T=.375 micrometers for Violet..These wavelengths are expressed usually as 750 nanometers and 375 Nanometers.


What are the wavelengths of each color of the rainbow?

The colors of the rainbow and their corresponding wavelengths are: Red: 620-750 nm Orange: 590-620 nm Yellow: 570-590 nm Green: 495-570 nm Blue: 450-495 nm Indigo: 420-450 nm Violet: 380-420 nm


Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?

The wavelength of ultraviolet waves is shorter than the wavelength of infrared waves. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths ranging from 10 nm to 400 nm, while infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to 1 mm.
