Was feynman wrong in saying light is a particle?
Most likely not.
Light is made up of photons, and even photons have mass..Thus light is a particle as particles are mass.
But to confuse you, even though light = photons & photons = particle & particle = mass; the photons also act as a wave.
Which is rather incredible, because it means that a mass also acts as a wave.
Is there a visible light absorbing spray paint?
Yes. It is marketed under the generic product description "flat black".
Note: You may from time to time encounter an advertisement promoting "fat back",
particularly in close proximity to ethnic restaurants. Do not be misled, for that is an
entirely different product.
Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?
No, ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light. Visible light falls within the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths below 400 nanometers.
What kinds of telescopes are used to see stars in visible light?
Refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes are commonly used to observe stars in visible light. These telescopes utilize lenses or mirrors to gather and focus light, allowing astronomers to view stars with clarity and detail.
Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is visible light found?
Visible light is found in the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and ultraviolet light, with wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers. It is the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye.
What month is the constalation lacerta visible?
The constellation Lacerta is typically visible in the northern hemisphere during the months of September through December. It can be best seen in the evening sky during these months.
What are 3 forms of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength higher than visible light?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency in all of the electromagnetic spectrum. The next higher frequency energy is microwave, visible light including ultraviolet, infrared, X-ray, then gamma ray
What are 3 things that visible light can be emitted by?
stars, flashlights, toasters, CFLs, LEDs, fireflies
What color on visible spectrum is the hottest?
On the visible spectrum, blue is the hottest color. This is because blue light has a higher energy level than other colors in the visible spectrum, such as red or yellow. Hot objects, like stars, emit more of their energy in the blue end of the spectrum.
How does a ripple tank make the waves more visible?
A ripple tank creates waves by vibrating a surface with a motor underneath the tank. This makes the surface of the water move up and down, creating the waves that are more visible due to the light shining from above, which reflects off the waves and reveals their patterns and behaviors.
infrared, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, ultraviolet. The sun has a lot of different colors in it, all you have to do is take a prism, and put it in front of a beam of sunlight, to see that the white light coming from the sun has many parts.
Just realize humans cannot see infrared or ultraviolet.
Which portion of the visible spectrum has the longest wave length?
Red light has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum.
What wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?
Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.
Which light has a lower frequency than an infra-red radiation?
Visible light has a lower frequency than infrared radiation. Visible light ranges in frequency from approximately 430 THz (red light) to 750 THz (violet light), while infrared radiation has frequencies below 430 THz.
Nikola Tesla used a high-frequency electromagnetic field to transmit electricity wirelessly, known as Tesla coils. When he held a light bulb near the coil, the electromagnetic field induced a current in the bulb, causing it to light up without the need for direct electrical connections.
When will be the Mercury lamps will be stopped in market?
If you are referring to fluorescent and CFL lamps, it can never be totally eliminated. These are mercury vapor arc lamps using a phosphor to turn the UV to visible light. They have reduced the mercury dramatically, but it can't be totally eliminated.
If all fluorescent and CFL lamps were banned and lighting was all converted to LED then use of mercury could be stopped. However most LED lamps cost at least ten times what CFL lamps cost.
The last color you can see at the red end has the lowest frequency,
longest wavelength, least energy per photon.
The last color you can see at the violet end has the highest frequency,
shortest wavelength, most energy per photon.
Is the electromagentic spectrum can only be seen in visiable light?
Some electromagnetic waves are invisible and some aren't. Light is electromagnetic radiation, and we can see it. Radio waves aren't, and neither are x-rays or cosmic rays. All of these are electromagnetic waves.
Light can do many things. some of the thing are that light can give things color, can make solar calculators work, can make cars move, and also it can help plants grow. That's ome of the things light can do.
What are the primary of colors of light?
This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.
If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.
Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.
When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum is taken up by visible light?
The EM spectrum ranges from very long radio waves at around 1000m or longer, to gamma rays at around 0.01 nanometers (nm). The visible part of the spectrum (for human eyes) ranges from 700 nm (red) to 400 nm (violet). One nanometer = 10-9 meter.
You may sometimes find reference to Angstroms, which used to be used for this range before SI was fully established. One Angstrom is 10-10 of a meter, ie 0.1 nm, so the range of visible light would be 7000 to 4000 Angstroms.
There is a nice diagram showing the visible range in the total spectrum, at Wikipedia

What type of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light?
A fluorescent light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light using a phosphor coating inside the bulb. When the UV light hits the phosphor coating, it emits visible light.
What minerals emit visible light when exposed to X-rays?
Minerals that emit visible light when exposed to X-rays include some types of diamonds, certain sulfides like willemite and sphalerite, and various fluorides such as fluorite. This phenomenon is called X-ray luminescence or X-ray-induced luminescence and is used in mineral identification and fluorescence studies.
