Shorter wavelengths produce a higher resolution because it allows you to see points that are closer together.

What is the relation between the wavelength and the frequency of the What wave has the highest frequency of electromagnetic waves?

The relationship between wavelength and frequency is inverse - as wavelength decreases, frequency increases, and vice versa. Gamma rays have the highest frequency among electromagnetic waves.


How do you find the shortest wave length?

To find the shortest wavelength, you would need to look for the highest frequency electromagnetic wave in the spectrum. You can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency to calculate the wavelength, with the highest frequency corresponding to the shortest wavelength.


Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?

The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.


What color had the lowest frequency?

Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency among visible light colors, whereas red has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.


What part of the spectrum has the highest frequency?

The part with the shortest wavelength has.


What waves have the shortest wavelength in the highest frequency?

Gamma waves

What is the highest frequency color in science?

The highest frequency color in science is violet, which has the shortest wavelength and highest energy of all the colors in the visible spectrum.


Do waves with the shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies?

That depends on the speed of the waves. If you are considering waves at the same speed, then yes, shorter wavelength equals higher frequency. The formula is: frequency = speed / wavelength or wavelength = speed / frequency From this you can clearly see, that if speed remains constant, then when wavelength decreases the frequency will increase and vice versa.


Light wave of what color have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?

Violet.


What frequency have the shortest wavelength?

For light they would be gamma rays, or waves with a frequency greater than 1 * 10^20 (10000000000000000000) Hz. And really, as a general rule, the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. If you want to calculate the frequency or wavelength you take the speed of light (~3.00*10^8 m/s) and divide it by either the frequency or wavelength, and your answer will be the wavelength (if you used frequency) or the frequency (if you used wavelength).


What color light has the shortest wave length and the highest frequency?

The visible light with the highest frequency and shortest wavelength is the last, bluest light that you can see at the blue end of the spectrum (rainbow).
