Light is measured by its wavelength (in Hertz). Wavelength approaches the separation between two progressive wave peaks or troughs. Frequency is the number of peaks or troughs per unit of time.

Which light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency?

The longest visible wavelength of light appears red. "Longest wavelength" is equivalent to 'lowest frequency'.


Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?

The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.


Is frequency a characteristic of visible light that does not depend on the light's wavelength?

No, frequency and wavelength of visible light are directly related through the speed of light in a vacuum. The frequency of visible light waves is inversely proportional to their wavelength: shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation c = λν, where c is the speed of light, λ is wavelength, and ν is frequency.


True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?

No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).


Which light has high frequency?

The highest frequency (shortest wavelength) of visible lightis the light at the blue end of the visible spectrum.


Who is wavelenght is longer visible light or ultraviolet light?

Visible light. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.


What is longer than visible wavelength called?

Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a lower frequency, than visible light.


Which wavelength of light has the lowest frequency?

Red light has the lowest frequency among visible light wavelengths.


How is color related to frequency and wave land?

As far as visible light is concerned violet has highest frequency and shortest wavelength where as red has lowest frequency and so longest wavelength VIBGYOR is the order of colours in the visible spectrum


Which color of visible light has the highest frequency?

blueee!!


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).


What did you observe with the wavelength and frequency of the different colors?

Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies, so violet light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than red light. In the visible spectrum, red light has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while violet light has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
