Wavelength frequency amplitude and what are the four characteristics of waves that can change?
wavelengh, frequency,amplitude, and wave speed
What is frequency of a wavelengh?
Frequency and wavelength are two characteristics of waves and are not characteristics of each other. Wavelength is the length of a wave from peak to peak or trough to trough. Frequency is how often the wave peaks arrive.
What happens to light rays when they pass through a prism?
White light is refracted off the edges of the prism. That is it is slightly deflected and because light is made up of different wavelengths which are bent by a different amount the result is a spectrum, also seen in a rainbow. and from another wiki answers entry:When light passes through a prism, the angle of deviation of any light beam is inversely proportional to its wavelengh. Since, violet color has least wave length, it bends the most and the red bends the least.
Which wave diffracts the most when encountering an obstacle?
Firstly, diffraction refers to what happens to a range of wavelengths. It means the different wavelengths are spread out, producing a spectrum under the right circumstances. Secondly, the 'obstacle' has to be transparent, so the waves pass from one medium to another. More properly, light hits the boundary between two transparent media (e.g. air and glass), and it is refracted(bent) as it enters the glass block. Shorter wavelengths are refracted more, so the beam is spread out, or diffracted. The easy way to remember this is 'blue bends best'.
What is the difference between cosmic and terrestial radiation?
Basicly the wavelengh
What does wavelengh have to do with fire?
the wavelength will tell you the temperature chemically and change the colour physically
What is the wavelengh of radio waves?
We use radio waves for various purposes with wavelengths between 1 millimeter and 5 kilometers.
How do you get a wavelengh?
Wavelength is the distance between the crest of one wave and the crest of the next wave so you just measure it I guess.
What is the only animal that can see light of wavelengh between 100 and 300 nanometers and also between 1000 and 100000 nanometers?
Goldfish

What is frequency of a wavelengh?
Frequency and wavelength are two characteristics of waves and are not characteristics of each other. Wavelength is the length of a wave from peak to peak or trough to trough. Frequency is how often the wave peaks arrive.
What is the longest wavelengh in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength are called "radio waves". There is no limit to how long the wavelengths can be.
What wavelength is BBC Radio 2 in France?
BBC Radio 4 Longwave usually covers the greater parts of France, Germany, and Holland. Go to 198kHz.
Which wavelength of visible light bends the most when refracted by a prism?
When light passes through a prism, the angle of deviation of any light beam is inversely proportional to its wavelengh. Since, violet color has least wave length, it bends the most and the red bends the least.Dhirender Sharma
Which form of radiation has the longest wavelengh?
Electromagnetic radiation at low audio frequencies have the longest wavelengths. There are several radio transmitters operating below 10kHz. This is called the VLF or the ELF radio range, and is used for communicating with submarines. The penetration of radio waves into sea water is a function of wavelength.
When im tired things seem to go fast this doesn't happen to anyone else i no except my mum can anyone tell me what it is?
I doubt that you're actually 'ill' (if that's what you're concerned about by the symptoms) - it's just that your mother is on a similar wavelengh and is better able to understand you that the other people that you've asked. Don't worry, losing track of time when tired happens to many people.
