Light waves are an electromagnetic radiation ranging in and wavelength. Only the wavelengths in between about 4,000 (violet) to about 7,700 (red) angstroms can be perceived by the human eye and is called visible light.
The wave itself is too fast and too small to be viewed in an isolated manner. However, all light perceived by the Human eye is a light wave.
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
The frequency of a light wave determines its color. Refer to the electromagnetic spectrum to see the exact wavelengths of certain waves and what their colors would be.
No, the wavelength determines the color of the light. 700nm corresponds to red, 400nm to about purple, and in between are the rest of the visible colours.
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).
diffraction is the bending of a wave around a barrier such as an obstacle or the edges of an opening. Every wave is the source of another wave. Yes, and each different wavelength of light is bent at a different angle, thus separating the visual (color) spectrum which allows you to see a rainbow effect.
Violet, after that comes ultraviolet that the human eye cannot see.
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
Reflects all light beams which have the wave length of the color of that object. Each color has a particular wave length in the electromagnetic spectrum.
That's the last color you can see on the red end of the spectrum.
The colour of the object we see is due to the light which it reflects. the difference in colours are due to the difference in wavelength and frequency of the light wave.
The frequency of a light wave determines its color. Refer to the electromagnetic spectrum to see the exact wavelengths of certain waves and what their colors would be.
The visible light with the longest wavelength is the last coloryou can see on the red end of the spectrum.
No, the wavelength determines the color of the light. 700nm corresponds to red, 400nm to about purple, and in between are the rest of the visible colours.
There is no longest wave-length for light. It can be infinitely long (just as light waves could be infinitely short). The longest visible light that humans can see is about 750 nanometers long, which is 0.00075 of a millimeter. This color would be a shade of red. Some other animals and insects can see slightly longer wavelengths, and many can not even see what we can.
The visible light with the shortest wavelength is the last color you can see on the blue/violet end of the rainbow. It's not exactly the same for all eyes.
