Do waves have length?

Yes. Wavelength is one of the fundamental variables in describing a wave.


When describing waves wavelength refers to the wave's?

Wavelength in waves refers to the distance between two corresponding points on a wave, such as from peak to peak or trough to trough. It is a measure of the length of one complete cycle of the wave and is typically denoted by the symbol λ (lambda).


What is a range of energy waves the radiation from the sun?

This refers to electromagnetic waves.These are:Radio waves (biggest wavelength)MicrowavesInfrared wavesVisible waves (light, the rainbow spectrum)Ultraviolet wavesX-ray wavesGamma waves (smallest wavelength).

Which refers to the change and wavelength that occurs when an object moves forward or away from the source?

Doppler effect refers to the change in wavelength and frequency that occurs when an object moves towards or away from a source of waves.


What is wavelength vs absorbance?

Absorbance refers to the extent to which a sample absorbs light depends strongly upon the wavelength of light while wavelength refers to the Forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, light waves or infrared (heat) waves make characteristic patterns as they travel through space


What are the three ways in which waves can be measured?

Waves can be measured in terms of their amplitude, frequency, and wavelength. Amplitude refers to the height of the wave, frequency is the number of waves passing a point in a given time, and wavelength is the distance between two corresponding points on a wave.


Which electromagnetic waves has the longest wavelength?

"radio waves" have longest wavelength..


What is the difference between a monochromatic light and coherent light waves?

The term "mono" refers to a singular object or subject. The term "chrome" refers to colors. The term "monochrome" is a reference to a single color. ie., if two lights are monochromatic that means they have same wavelength. If two waves are monochromatic (having the same wavelength) and are of the same phase, these two waves are defined as coherent waves. Sources generating such waves are known as coherent sources.


Can waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes?

no they cant they have to be the same they complete each other


Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?

The wavelength of ultraviolet waves is shorter than the wavelength of infrared waves. Ultraviolet waves have wavelengths ranging from 10 nm to 400 nm, while infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to 1 mm.


How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?

IR waves are longer than UV waves.
