Question

Compared to yellow light, orange light has

Answer 1

Compared to yellow light, orange light has C. a longer wavelength

Further explanation

Electromagnetic waves are waves that do not need a medium to propagate.

The speed of this wave in vacuum is about 3 × 10⁸ m/s.

Examples of these waves if sorted from the smallest frequency to the largest frequency are as follows:

1. Radio waves
2. Microwaves
3. Infra Red Light
4. Visible Light
5. Ultraviolet Light
6. X-rays
7. Gamma rays

Let us now tackle the problem!

Visible light can be further divided into spectrum as follows:

1. Red Light
2. Orange Light
3. Yellow Light
4. Green Light
5. Cyan Light
6. Blue Light
7. Violet Light

Red light has the smallest frequency while purple light has the greatest frequency.

The relationship between frequency and wavelength is as shown in the following formula :

$\large {\boxed {f = \frac{v}{\lambda} } }$

From the above formula it can be concluded that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave.

Conclusion:

Red light has the largest wavelength while violet light has the smallest wavelength. Compared to yellow light, orange light has C. a longer wavelength.
