Are shorter wavelengths more affected by a prism or water droplets than longer wavelengths?

False. A prism separates the colors of sunlight into a spectrum because each wavelength of light has its own index of refraction, not because wavelengths are affected more or less by the prism.

Are green wavelengths longer than orange wavelengths?
Sound waves are much longer then light waves.
Why do the waves with shorter wavelengths scatter more than those with long wavelength?
Because they use less energy then longer wavelengths hence they can go farther
How does the energy assoicated with waves change wave length changes?
Longer wavelengths (and lower frequencies) have less energy. Shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) have more energy.
Does ultraviolet light have long or short wavelengths?
The wavelengths for UV light are shorter than for visible light, but much longer than for x-rays or gamma rays.
Which has more energy purple or red?
Purple has a higher energy than red. Purple also has shorter wavelengths that emit a higher intensity compared to red that has longer wavelengths that emit a lower intensity.
Is the wavelength of x-rays longer or shorter then the wavelengths of visible light?
"shorter"
How do you change the pitch sound?
Adjust the wavelenght! The higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequencies have longer wavelengths. Basically, the longer the wavelength, the lower the pitch.
Are the wavelengths of light at the red end of the spectrum longer or shorter than those at the blue end?
Longer.
Does ultraviolet light have short wavelengths?
The answer depends on "compared to what"? UV wavelengths are shorter than x-rays and longer than microwaves.
Is visible light longer or shorter then rays?
Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.
Are green wavelengths longer than orange wavelengths?
Sound waves are much longer then light waves.
Why are short wavelengths of EM radiation less common then medium wavelengths?
Shorter wavelengths, like gamma rays and X-rays, require more energy to produce than longer wavelengths like visual light.
1 Explain why shorter wavelengths are more dangerous than those with longer wavelengths?
Shorter wavelengths have more energy E= hc/w and this greater energy can do greater damage by ionizing atoms and changing chemical reactions and changing atoms even the Nucleus.
Why do the waves with shorter wavelengths scatter more than those with long wavelength?
Because they use less energy then longer wavelengths hence they can go farther
What is difference between normal and anamolous dispersion?
Normal dispersion occurs where shorter wavelengths travel slower than longer wavelengths. Anomalous dispersion occurs when shorter wavelengths travel faster than longer wavelengths.The zero dispersion point for optic fibres is around 1550 nm, which is why most communications systems use this wavelength.
Wavelenghts at which planets emit enregy?
Most planets absorb energy in the light and UV (and shorter) wavelengths. Planets radiate energy in the infrared (heat) and longer wavelengths.
How does the energy assoicated with waves change wave length changes?
Longer wavelengths (and lower frequencies) have less energy. Shorter wavelengths (and higher frequencies) have more energy.
