How are frequency wavelength and color interdependent on each other?

∙ 16y ago
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/wavelength
where
c is the velocity of light in free space
Whereas 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....

∙ 11y agoThe frequency of an electromagnetic wave entering your eye is what determines
the color that your brain will perceive, if it's within the visible range.
And the frequency of a mechanical wave entering your ear is what determines the
pitch that your brain will perceive, if it's within the audible range.
In both statements, you can replace the word 'frequency' with the word 'wavelength',
and they're still just as true. Makes no difference. Within a constant medium, frequency
and wavelength are inextricably bound; if you know one, you know the other, and you
can't change one without changing the other.

How are the light waves of colours different from each other?
Each color has a different frequency and wavelength; with red having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency of all the visible colors & violet having the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of the colors humans can see.
How does amplitude frequency and wavelength affect each other?
-- Frequency and wavelength of a wave are inversely proportional. So knowing one of them determines what the other one must be. -- Amplitude has no relationship to frequency or wavelength, and no effect on them.
How the wavelength of waves traviling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increase?
Speed is (Length/Time). Wavelength is (Length), and Frequency is (1/Time).Speed = (Wavelength)*(Frequency). With a constant speed, Wavelength and Frequency are inversely proportional to each other. So if one increases, the other decreases.
What is the connection between the frequency wavelength and color of light?
Frequency = speed / wavelength. On the other hand, light of different frequencies looks to our eyes as different colors. Some frequencies - most, in fact - can't be seen at all.
When talking about waves as frequency increases wavelength do what?
Wavelength and frequency are reciprocals: as one goes up the other goes down.
Does thr color of light depends upon its wavelength or frequency fundamentally?
Fundamentally it is the frequency. When light travels into a medium like glass the speed and wavelength can decrease but the frequency and color do not change. If light does not pass thru different mediums then it is safe to talk about its color in terms of either frequency or wavelength (one is inversely proportional to the other by speed of light = frequency x wavelength) but fundamentally one would use frequency.
How are the light waves of colours different from each other?
Each color has a different frequency and wavelength; with red having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency of all the visible colors & violet having the shortest wavelength and highest frequency of the colors humans can see.
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.

How does velocity vary with wavelength if frequency is the same?
Velocity equals frequency times wavelength. If frequency is constant, velocity is proportional to wavelength; one increases at the same rate as the other.
When talking about waves as frequency increases wavelength do what?
Wavelength and frequency are reciprocals: as one goes up the other goes down.
Describe how to calculate each of wavelength speed and frequency if you know the other two factors What is the wavelength of a 25 hertz wave traveling at 35 cms?
1). Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)2). Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)3). Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)Use #3:Wavelength = (35 cm/s) / (25 Hz) = 1.4 cm
What happens to frequency of a wave when the wavelength is decreased and when the wavelength is increased?
When wavelength decreases, frequency increases, and when wavelength increases, frequency decreases. The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ... the speed of the wave. So when one of them changes, the other one must change in the opposite direction in order for their product to remain unchanged.
How is the frequency of a wave related to its wavelength?
wavelength I will call lambda, frequency I will call f If f and lambda are the same then the velocities of the waves would be the same becuase v= lambda*f You know nothing about their phase angles or the amplitude of the waves though.
How does the frequency of a water wave change as its wavelength changes?
With a water wave, an increase in the length of the wavelength will result in a decrease in the frequency of the wave. We could say that there is an inverse relationship between the frequency and the wavelength. As one increases, the other decreases, and as one decreases, the other increases.
