How does the wavelength of light compare to it's frequency?

The wavelength of light is inversely proportional to its frequency. This means that light with a shorter wavelength will have a higher frequency, and light with a longer wavelength will have a lower frequency. In other words, as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases.


What is the relationship between sound, light, and frequency?

Sound, light, and frequency are all forms of waves that can be measured in terms of frequency. Sound waves are vibrations in the air that we hear, while light waves are electromagnetic radiation that we see. Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time, and it determines the pitch of sound and the color of light. Sound and light waves can interact with each other, such as in the phenomenon of sound waves creating light in a process called sonoluminescence.


When the amplitude decreases what happens to the frequency?

When the amplitude decreases, the frequency remains constant. Amplitude and frequency are independent of each other in a wave. The frequency determines the pitch of the sound or the color of light, while the amplitude determines the intensity or loudness of the sound or brightness of light.


How do you compare loudness and pitch o a sound?

Loudness refers to the intensity or volume of a sound, while pitch refers to the frequency of the sound waves. A loud sound has higher amplitude and is perceived as stronger, whereas pitch is determined by the frequency of sound waves and how high or low they are. In summary, loudness is about the strength of a sound, while pitch is about its frequency.


What does the frequency of sound and light waves look like?

The frequency of sound waves refers to the number of complete oscillations or cycles per second, measured in hertz. Higher frequency sound waves are perceived as higher pitch and lower frequency waves as lower pitch. For light waves, frequency is associated with the color of light, with higher frequencies corresponding to bluer colors and lower frequencies to redder colors. Light waves have much higher frequencies than sound waves, measured in terahertz (THz) or petahertz (PHz).

What is the ratio of frequency of visible light to frequency of audible sound?

The lowest frequency of visible light ... assume wavelength = 750 nm ...is around 400,000 GHz.The highest frequency of audible sound is around 20 KHz.So the smallest ratio ... lowest frequency of light to highest frequency of sound ...is 4 x 1014/2 x 104 = 20 billion .


How would the wavelength and frequency of a red light compare to the wavelengths and frequencies of green and violet lights?

-- Red light has the lowest frequency of those three. -- Green light has lower frequency than violet light has. -- The wavelength of all light is inversely proportional to its frequency.


How do the wavelength and frequency of red light compare to the wavelength and frequency of blue light?

Red light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency compared to blue light. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, which is why it appears bluer in color to the human eye.


Compare the frequency and energy of infrared waves to the frequency energy of the visible light?

Visible light has a higher frequency, a higher energy per photon, and a smaller wavelength, compared to infrared.

Is Frequency modulated in the light beam of the laser when transfering sound?

Yes it is. That is why you get a scrachy and unclear sound.
