The wavelength of an X-ray is much shorter than the wavelength of a red light from a neon sign. The frequency is much longer in an X-ray than the frequency of a red light from a neon sign.

Which waves would have a longer wavelengththose with 56 Hz frequency or 2MHz frequency?

The waves with a 2MHz frequency would have a longer wavelength compared to those with a 56 Hz frequency. Wavelength and frequency are inversely related according to the equation: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Since the speed of light is constant, higher frequency waves have shorter wavelengths.


Is the longest wavelength violet?

No. In the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the waves at the red end have the longest wavelength (lowest frequency), and those at the violet end have the shortest wavelength (highest frequency).


Between green light and red light which has a higher frequency?

Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, (i.e. greater distance for one oscillation of red light compared to blue light) so there are less oscillations in the same period of time for red light, and thus red light has a lower frequency than blue light. More concisely: Wavelength = Wavespeed / Frequency , where wavespeed is constant So Frequency = Wavespeed / Wavelength Therefore as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. Make sense? Jack


How does the length of a pipe compare with the frequency and wavelength of the sound it can make?

The length of a pipe is directly proportional to the wavelength of the sound it can produce, meaning longer pipes produce longer wavelengths. Frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the pipe, so longer pipes produce lower frequencies. The relationship between pipe length, frequency, and wavelength is determined by the speed of sound in the medium the pipe is placed in.


How the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the frequency of the waves increases?

The speed of a wave is equal to the wavelength divided by the frequency (speed = wavelength/frequency). So if the frequency of the wave increases, the wavelength will decrease.

Why wavelenth changes with speed of light?

Wavelength does not change with the speed of light, nor does the speed of light change for different wave lengths. Wavelength x frequency = c (the speed of light) always for any given medium through which it travels. Greater wavelength yields lower frequency, so the speed is always the same. Speed changes as light passes into different media transparent to light, but the change in speed has nothing to do with any change in frequency or wavelength. Those are related only to the nature of the material and the particular light energies it may pass or absorb. So white light passing through a red filter emerges red because the blue and green frequencies have been absorbed by the filtering material. That change in wavelength and frequency is not related to any change in speed within the filter.


Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?

No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.


Which waves would have a longer wave length those with 56Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?

Wavelength at 2 MHz = 149.896 meters Wavelength at 56 Hz = 5,353.437 meters Lower frequency --> longer wavelength. Higher frequency --> shorter wavelength When you multiply (frequency) times (wavelength), the result is always the same number.


The frequency of a light wave with wavelength 0.005 meters is Hz?

Well, darling, to find the frequency of a light wave, you need to use the formula speed = frequency x wavelength. Since the speed of light is approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s, you can rearrange the formula to find frequency = speed / wavelength. Plug in the values and you'll get the frequency in Hz. Just don't forget to carry the one, honey.


What is the relationship between the color of light and its wavelength?

Each color has a wavelength and frequency associated with it. We're familiar with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. These colors range from longer wavelength (lower frequency) red up through shorter wavelength (higher frequency) violet. As one moves up through those colors from red to violet, the color is an indication to relative wavelength.

What frequency should a radio station have of its wave are to have wavelength of 200m?

Well, honey, if the wavelength is 200m, then the frequency of the radio station should be around 1.5 MHz. Just plug that bad boy into the formula f = c/λ, where c is the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s). Math doesn't lie, darling!


Which wave would have a longer wavelength those with 56 Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?

56 Hz.
