Does ultraviolet light have long or short wavelengths?
The wavelengths for UV light are shorter than for visible light, but much longer than for x-rays or gamma rays.
How is a chromatic aberration related to a prism spectrograph?
chromatic aberration is due to the change in n, which is a function of the wavelength. different wavelength--> different n--> different refraction-->different angle-->this is spectrograph.
Do short wavelengths have a higher velocity than long wavelengths?
No.
Which wavelength has more energy short or long?
Short wavelengths has more energy. (X-rays Gamma rays belongs to this category.) Long wavelengths has less energy (radio waves and light belongs to this category). I hope this would be enough.
What is an example of light scattering?
An example is the short wavelengths of sunlight which are blue are scattered by particles in the atmosphere, making the sky blue.
What affects light with short wavelengths more than light with long wavelengths?
Scattering of light
Does ultraviolet light have long or short wavelengths?
The wavelengths for UV light are shorter than for visible light, but much longer than for x-rays or gamma rays.
Does ultraviolet light have short wavelengths?
The answer depends on "compared to what"? UV wavelengths are shorter than x-rays and longer than microwaves.

How do carnival mirror make you short and fat or tall and skinny?
Because the light bends
Why are short wavelengths of EM radiation less common then medium wavelengths?
Shorter wavelengths, like gamma rays and X-rays, require more energy to produce than longer wavelengths like visual light.
How do carnival mirrors make you look short and fat or tall and skinny?
Because the light bends
Do short wavelengths have a higher velocity than long wavelengths?
No.
How does a prism separated white light into different colors?
Every shade of color corresponds with an exact wavelength (or frequency, same idea). When light passes from one medium to another (i.e. from air to water, or air to glass), it bends. Furthermore, it bends at an exact angle dependent on (1) the angle at which it is incident upon the boundary and (2) the wavelength of the light.White light is the combination of the entire spectrum of visible light (not just 7 colors). This means every possible wavelength of visible light is represented. As a beam of white light strikes a boundary (such as the surface of a prism) all of the colors will bend a different amount because they all have different wavelengths. This spreads the colors out for us so we can see the gradient from the really short wavelengths (violet, blue, etc.) to the really long wavelengths (red, orange, etc.).I would just make something clear as a side note. In a vacuum, all light travels at the same speed, regardless of color/wavelength/frequency it has.
Is it true that the color of visible light depends on the wavelength of the light?
It's true! Shorter wavelengths equate to bluer light, while redder light comes from longer wavelengths. However, if the wavelength of the light becomes too long or too short, the light becomes ultra violet or infrared, meaning they become invisible.
Which wavelength has more energy short or long?
Short wavelengths has more energy. (X-rays Gamma rays belongs to this category.) Long wavelengths has less energy (radio waves and light belongs to this category). I hope this would be enough.
What are the differences between xray and visible light?
The X-rays have shorter wavelengths ... shorter than the shortest wave to which the eye responds.
