What else can I help you with?
What is it called when waves are farther apart?
When waves are farther apart, it is referred to as having a longer wavelength.
What makes up a wavelength in a compressional wave?
In air,as you move along the wave the molecules go through a cycle where in one region they are closer together and then farther down there is another region where they are further apart. This cycle repeats. The Length of one of these cycles is the wavelength. Go to the Related Links below for good animations.
If two light waves start out in phase with one another but one travels two wavelengths farther than the other before they come together will the waves be in phase or out of phase when they combine?
The waves will be in phase when they combine. Two waves that are in phase have reached corresponding points in their wave cycle, regardless of the path length difference traveled. In this case, the extra two wavelengths traveled by one of the waves will not affect their phase relationship.
Why red has the longest wavelength?
Red light has the longest wavelength among the visible spectrum because it has the lowest frequency and energy. The longer wavelength of red light causes it to scatter less than other colors, giving it the ability to travel farther through the atmosphere and water.
When a light ray and a sound wave have the same frequency which one has the longer wavelength?
The light wave has the longer wavelength. In the time required for one wiggle, it travels roughly 880,000 times farther than the sound wave does.
What is it called when waves are farther apart?
When waves are farther apart, it is referred to as having a longer wavelength.
True or false the farther apart waves are the greater their wavelength?
True. Waves with a greater wavelength will have a longer distance between each wave crest compared to waves with a shorter wavelength.

Is Neptune farther from Planet X?
I wish, Ask another question
Why is a shorter wavelength of light emitted when an electron falls from n equals 4 to n equals 1 than when an electron falls from n equals 2 to n equals 1?
Shorter wavelength = more energy. The farther the electron falls, the more energy that will be emitted.
What is maximum distance?
this means you cant go another farther. your equation will not allow you to compute any more numbers farther than the maximum distance.
When is there more gravitational energy?
There is more gravitational energy when two objects are closer together and less gravitational energy when they are farther apart. This is because the gravitational force between two objects is stronger when they are closer together and weaker when they are farther apart.
What is another word for farther?
Dad or Daddy longer distance. Further away.
Why is it cooler farther away from the equator?
Areas farther away from the equator receive less direct sunlight, causing them to have lower average temperatures. Additionally, the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface at higher latitudes results in less heat being absorbed by the atmosphere. These factors combine to make it cooler the farther away from the equator you go.
