No, higher temperature does not necessarily mean shorter wavelength. In the context of radiation, higher temperature typically means higher frequency and shorter wavelength, according to Wien's Displacement Law. However, in general physics, temperature and wavelength are not directly related.

Does longer wavelength mean higher frequency?

No. Longer wavelength means lower frequency.When you multiply wavelength by frequency, the product is always the same.


What does wavelength mean in science?

In science, wavelength refers to the distance between two successive points on a wave that are in phase with each other. It is often used to describe various types of waves, such as electromagnetic waves (like light) or sound waves. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and higher energies, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies and lower energies.


What do you mean by debye temperature?

The Debye temperature is a characteristic temperature that describes the average energy of the vibrations of atoms in a crystal lattice. It is a measure of how stiff the material is and provides insight into its thermal and elastic properties. Materials with higher Debye temperatures tend to have stronger atomic bonds and higher melting points.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?

Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.


A sound wave that has a higher frequency has a wavelength that is shorter or longer?

A wave with a high frequency has a low wavelength. Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed cof the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f

Which has a higher temperature 1 kg iron or 1 kg silver?

Temperature isn't governed by weight so both can have the same temperature. Do you mean which has a higher melting point? That's iron as silver melts at a lower temperature.


How can fire's temperature vary by color?

Do you mean 'how does the colour of a flame relate to its temperature?' Well, every colour of light relates to a certain wavelength, which relates to a certain frequency, which relates to a certain energy of light photon via E=hf. at higher temp, light being emitted by a substance will be more dominant in the lower wavelengths, whereas at lower temp (think background temp in your house), the radiation given off is much longer wavelength (infrared). Its the same energy, just different wavelengths! So, a blue flame will be hotter than a red flame, but colder than a flame that might be invisible, because its emitting ultraviolet, which is very short wavelength. Which is why you must be careful with buns-ton burners with invisible flames!

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.


Is your body temperature normally about 41degess?

NO--a temperature of 41F degrees would mean you're dead. A normal temp is 98.6F with a range of 1 degree higher or lower.
