"Frequency" refers to the number of vibrations per second. Light consists of electromagnetic waves, that is, vibrations (or regular changes) in the electric and magnetic fields, that propagate as a wave.

What is an example of frequency?

Frequency can be found in sound, light, and line current. An example of frequency is, the frequency wave of light will determine what color the light is.


What is the term for the number of times a light wave travels a complete cycle in one second?

The term is frequency. It is measured in hertz (Hz), where one hertz equals one cycle per second.


Which has a lower frequency yellow light or blue light?

Blue light has a higher frequency compared to yellow light.


How does frequency affect light?

The frequency of light determines its color – higher frequency light appears bluer, while lower frequency light appears redder. In addition, the frequency of light affects its energy – higher frequency light carries more energy per photon. This is why higher frequency ultraviolet light is more harmful to living organisms than lower frequency visible light.

When the frequency of light matches the natural frequency of molecules in a material light is?

When the frequency of light matches the natural frequency of molecules in a material, light is absorbed by the material. This phenomenon is known as resonance absorption.


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.


Is the frequency of blue light higher or lower than violet light?

Blue light has a lower frequency than violet light. Violet light has the highest frequency in the visible spectrum, while blue light has a slightly lower frequency than violet light but higher than green light.


How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?

You can use the equation: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Given the speed of light (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) and the frequency of the light source, divide the speed of light by the frequency to determine the wavelength of the light.


Is the frequency of purple light higher or lower than yellow light?

The frequency of purple light is higher than yellow light. Purple light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to yellow light which has a longer wavelength and lower frequency.
