What happens to the wavelength of lights as the frequency increases?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
For any wave (not just light), the product of the wavelength and the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave. For light in a vaccum, the speed is constant (ca. 300 million m/s). - thus, as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter.

What is the difference between blue light and green light?
In the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum VIBGYOR, violet having highest frequency is at one extreme and red having the lowest frequency goes to other extreme. So violet with shortest wavelength and red with the longest.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
What happens when an objects is in the path of lights?
If the object is opaque to the frequency of light impinging on it, some of the light will be reflected and the rest will be converted to heat in the opaque object.
Do violet light and red light have the same energy?
Energy = Planck's Constant * wavelength The lights will not have the same energy is the wavelength varies.
What is the medium for ultraviolet lights?
Light, whatever the wavelength, does not need a medium in order to radiate.
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.
What is the difference between ultraviolet and infrared lights?
Wavelength, frequency, and energy carried by each photon (light quantum).
How does dispersion affect optical fiber?
Dispersion affects optical fibers in the sense that dispersion causes a disruption in the frequency of lights waves and can focus the wavelength nature of light.

Why in cars yellow light is used?
Yellow lights have good wavelength and improves visibility during bad weather. The current model cars have fog lamps which increases visibility during fogy weather. Yellow lights were used about a decade ago. It is banned in most of the European and western contries.
Do violet light and red light have the same energy?
Energy = Planck's Constant * wavelength The lights will not have the same energy is the wavelength varies.
What happens if a bulb breaks in your Christmas lights?
With the modern lights nothing happens.
What is the medium for ultraviolet lights?
Light, whatever the wavelength, does not need a medium in order to radiate.
What form of energy in energy of house lights?
House lights radiate energy as electromagnetic waves in the wavelength bands of heat and visible light.
How does LDR work for street lights?
LDRs work when the light intensity increases, the resistance decreases. If this happens, I think the amount of current is too little so triggers something which turns the street lamps on. I'm not quite sure if this is what happens.
