Longer than visiblie wavelength is Infrared.

Shorther than visible wavelength is ultraviolet.

Asking for answers here to the Guardian crossword is cheating. ;o)

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 colors of light from the longest wavelength to the shortest wavelength?

You could memorize the seven spectrum colors in order with a word called [roygbiv] or Roy G. Biv, as most learn it. The colors of the rainbow are in the order from longest wavelength to shortest, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest. r= red o=orange y=yellow g=green b=blue i=indigo v=violet A.K.A: ROY G BIV THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW


Scientific words that start with U?

Ultraviolet: Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light. Uniformitarianism: Geological principle stating that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the present have always operated in the past. Ultrasonography: Medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to generate images of internal body structures. Ultracentrifuge: Laboratory instrument used to separate particles from a liquid based on their density using high-speed rotation.


What is the main difference between visible and coherent light?

First let us remove the word visible from this question and replace it with incoherent, as visible light can be either coherent or incoherent and coherent light can be either inside the visible spectrum or outside it.Incoherent light is random/unordered, e.g. wave phases different, shines in all directions, polychromatic.Coherent light is ordered in one or more ways, e.g. wave phases all synchronized, shines in one unidirectional collimated beam, monochromatic.The difference between light in the visible spectrum or outside it is only whether humans can see it or not, there is no difference in the light itself other than wavelength.


Does visible light waves have pitch?

no You might say that, even though nobody else ever does. A change in the frequency of sound is perceived as a different 'pitch'. A change in the frequency of light is perceived as a different 'color'. In each case, even a small change in frequency is easily perceptible to the human sensory system. Who cares what word you use to describe it !

What is the light that is not visible to the human eye?

Electromagnetic radiation having a wavelengths between 380 - 750nm is visible to the normal human eye. This region of the spectrum is called visible light. Radiation of any other wavelength cannot be seen with the naked eye


How are frequency wavelength and color interdependent on each other?

Each colour has different wavelengths....For example: In VIBGYOR It is in the order of increasing wavelength i.e Compared to red violet is having the shorter wavelength..... The frequency and wavelength are related by the equation: In vaccum: frequency= c/wavelengthwherec is the velocity of light in free spaceWhereas in any medium,frequency= Velocity of light in that medium/wavelength So, it is clear from the formula that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.... As the wavelength changes with colour the frequency also changes according to that.............. If the frequency is high, the wavelength will be low and viceversa....


How do you use the word infra in a sentence?

The hot iron bar radiated in the infrared portion of the spectrum.Laser communication links typically operate in the infrared."Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than that of visible light (400-700 nm), but shorter than that of terahertz"


What does the word micro signify in the word micro wave oven?

Micro means very small. Microwaves have much smaller wavelengths than radio waves. In a way, it is an arbitrary name, since microwaves also have a larger wavelength than visible light. But that's how it goes. Someone thought the wavelength was small enough to deserve that name.


What is meaning of the acronym infrared?

The word infrared is not an acronym! It refers to a wavelength of light that is slightly longer than the longest visible wavelength, which is red. Its energy content is less than red, which is what the term "infrared" means. Below red.


What is the meaning of the word infrared?

"Infrared" refers to a type of electromagnetic radiation that has longer wavelengths than visible light but shorter wavelengths than microwaves. It is commonly used in technologies like remote controls, night vision goggles, and thermal imaging cameras.


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 do you mean by using the word wavelength?

The word "wavelength" refers to the frequency of a wave. Wavelength is measured in hertz; the number of vibrations per second.


What part of speech is the word visible?

Visible is an adjective.


Another word that means to get shorter?

Another word for get shorter is shrink.


HOW DOES wavelength define light?

Wavelength defines light by determining its color and energy. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy light such as ultraviolet and x-rays, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy light such as infrared and radio waves. The wavelength of light also influences how it interacts with different materials and objects.


What is a compound word that has the word wave?
