What else can I help you with?
Will a wavelength be shorter or longer the slower the object vibrates?
The wavelength will be longer if the object vibrates slower. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.
Why do wavelength of light changes when it travels from one medium to another?
It gets shorter due to slower speed. Beware: color depends on frequency, which doesn't change. The frequency of light is defined by its wavelength. When light travels from air into water, there is a phase shift in the electromagnetic ripple, not a frequency shift.
Which travels faster in a vacuum - gamma rays or infrared rays?
Gamma rays travel faster in a vacuum compared to infrared rays. This is because gamma rays have a higher frequency and shorter wavelength, allowing them to travel at the speed of light. Infrared rays have a lower frequency and longer wavelength, which results in a slower speed when traveling through a vacuum.
Is light slower in air or water or a vacuum and Why?
Light travels fastest in a vacuum because there are no particles to interact with and slow it down. It travels slower in air and even slower in water due to the presence of molecules that can scatter and absorb light, causing it to travel at a reduced speed.
What is the relationship between the wavelength in a dielectric material and the propagation of electromagnetic waves?
The relationship between the wavelength in a dielectric material and the propagation of electromagnetic waves is that the wavelength of electromagnetic waves decreases when they travel through a dielectric material compared to when they travel through a vacuum. This is due to the slower speed of light in the dielectric material, which causes the waves to be compressed and have a shorter wavelength.
Is the slower an object vibrates the longer or shorter the wavelength will be?
The slower an object vibrates, the longer the wavelength will be. This is because wavelength is inversely related to frequency; as the frequency decreases (which occurs when the vibration slows), the wavelength increases. Therefore, a slower vibration results in a longer wavelength.
Will a wavelength be shorter or longer the slower the object vibrates?
The wavelength will be longer if the object vibrates slower. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.
Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
Why do wavelength of light changes when it travels from one medium to another?
It gets shorter due to slower speed. Beware: color depends on frequency, which doesn't change. The frequency of light is defined by its wavelength. When light travels from air into water, there is a phase shift in the electromagnetic ripple, not a frequency shift.
Do you shake the end of the rope slowly or rapidly to make the wavelength shorter?
You should shake the end of the rope rapidly to make the wavelength shorter. Increasing the frequency of the wave by shaking it rapidly will decrease the distance between consecutive crests, thus shortening the wavelength.
What makes light move slower as it travels?
it moves slower because of sudden movement
Why does light travel faster in empty spaces?
Light travels faster (up to the speed of light) in a vacuum, which is empty space. Light travels slower through a medium (matter).
Why is a plane seen before its heard?
because sound travels slower
Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light which one?
In a vacum all wavelengths of light have the same speed of 3 x 10^8 m/s. However, in a medium like glass or water the speeds of light are different for different wavelengths and the longer wavelength has a higher speed then the shorter wavelength. Although both speeds are slower then their speeds in a vacum.
Which travels faster in a vacuum - gamma rays or infrared rays?
Gamma rays travel faster in a vacuum compared to infrared rays. This is because gamma rays have a higher frequency and shorter wavelength, allowing them to travel at the speed of light. Infrared rays have a lower frequency and longer wavelength, which results in a slower speed when traveling through a vacuum.
