Between green light and red light which has a higher frequency?

Answer 1

Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, (i.e. greater distance for one oscillation of red light compared to blue light) so there are less oscillations in the same period of time for red light, and thus red light has a lower frequency than blue light.

More concisely: Wavelength = Wavespeed / Frequency , where wavespeed is constant

So Frequency = Wavespeed / Wavelength

Therefore as wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

Make sense?

Answer 2

We know that for any wave the product of it's wavelength and frequency is constant. Now as Red light has longer wavelength than violet it's frequency must be lower than that of violet light. So violet has a greater frequency.

Answer 3

-- The lowest frequency visible light is the last color you can see

on the red end of the spectrum.

-- The highest frequency visible light is the last color you can see

on the blue end of the spectrum.

Answer 4

Green light is composed of waves whose frequency is higher than those of red light.

Red light waves have the lowest frequency of any visible light. Violet light waves have the highest.

Answer 5

Longer wavelength always means lower frequency. Shorter wavelength always means

higher frequency. When you multiply them together, the answer is always the same

number ... the speed of the wave.

Answer 6

Actually, blue light does have a shorter wavelength than red light. If red light had the shorter wavelength, then the sky might appear red instead of blue.

Answer 7

blue light has a higher frequency and red light is the lowest color frequency.

Answer 8

Red is longer ... thus it's wavelength is longer.

Answer 9
