No, blue light actually has short wavelengths compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. This short wavelength is why blue light is often associated with effects like glare and eye strain.

What bends more light waves with short wavelengths or light waves with long wavelenths?

Light waves with shorter wavelengths bend more compared to light waves with longer wavelengths when passing through a medium due to the phenomenon of dispersion. This is why we see rainbows, where shorter wavelengths (violet/blue) are bent more than longer wavelengths (red) when passing through water droplets.


What light will a blue object absorb?

A blue object will absorb most light except blue wavelengths of light, which it will reflect, making the object appear blue. This is because objects appear a certain color based on the wavelengths of light they reflect.


As you move from the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum to the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the wavelengths of the light?

It Increases. Red light has a wave length of about, 620-750 nm. Blue light a wave length of about 450-475 nm


What color reflect blue?

White surfaces reflect blue light the best, as they reflect all visible wavelengths of light equally. Blue surfaces also reflect blue light well, but absorb light of other wavelengths.


What affects light with short wavelengths more than light with long wavelengths?

Scattering of light


Why does a blue object look blue under white light?

A blue object appears blue because it reflects blue light wavelengths and absorbs other wavelengths of light. When white light, which contains all colors of the spectrum, shines on the object, the blue wavelengths are reflected while all other colors are absorbed, resulting in the perception of blue color.


Does an object appears blue is it reflects all wavelengths of light except blue?

If it didn't reflect blue, then there wouldn't be any blue light from it to enter your eye,and you wouldn't see any blue.If the object looks blue, then you know two things:1). There was some blue light hitting the object.2). The blue light hitting the object wasn't all absorbed. At leastsome of it was reflected from the object, toward your eye.


Is Blue light is near 800 nm while red light is 400 nm?

No, blue light typically has wavelengths in the range of 450-495 nm, while red light ranges from 620-750 nm. Blue light has shorter wavelengths compared to red light.


What makes light blue?

Light blue appears as a result of blue light being scattered in the atmosphere. When sunlight passes through the air, the shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than the longer red wavelengths, resulting in the sky appearing blue to our eyes.


What happens when light hits a blue surface?

Depending on the range of wavelengths that comprise the incident light, some of it may be absorbed and some may be reflected. If blue wavelengths are present in the incident light, then the blue is mostly reflected, and any other wavelengths are mostly absorbed. This is the main reason that the surface acquires the reputation of being 'blue'.


What does a blue object look like under white light?

A blue object under white light will appear as blue because it reflects blue light wavelengths and absorbs other colors. The white light contains all the colors of the visible spectrum, but the blue wavelengths are the ones reflected by the object, giving it its blue color.


Does blue or red have the longest wavelength?

Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light. In the visible light spectrum, red light has wavelengths between approximately 620-750 nanometers, while blue light has wavelengths between approximately 450-495 nanometers.
