What color of light has the shortest wavelength

Physics
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Violet

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (for this reason, these waves are also called transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves are generally invisible to human eye, apart from a very small portion of it, called visible light.

Waves in the visible part of the spectrum appear to us as a different color, depending on their wavelength. From shortest to longest wavelength, we have:

Violet (380-450 nm)

Blue (450-495 nm)

Green (495-570 nm)

Yellow (570-590 nm)

Orange (590-620 nm)

Red (620-750 nm)

So we see that violet is the color with shortest wavelength.

How is wave movement affected by the various mediums it may travel through?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

speed is affected by the medium in wich the wave travels.

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is affected when traveling in different medium, depending on the medium in which the wave travels it can go faster or slower, or not even be able to travel in that medium.

For light waves, the denser the medium through which the wave travels, the slower it will go through it, as there is more resistance to the light particles.

And in waves like sound, which instead of particles is a vibration or disturbance in the medium, they travel faster in denser mediums such as metal, because the disturbance is transmitted more efficiently thanks to how close together that the particles are in the metal, This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum; there are not even particles to transmit the vibration.

Thanks + BRAINLIST <br><br> Need correct answer ASAP
aliina [53]

Answer:

The options are not shown, so it is kinda hard to give you the exact answer.

But i can try to give a general explanation on the topic.

Interference happens when two waves interact between them. We usually use waves with the same wavelength and same phase.

There are two "main" types of interference:

Destructive interference: Happens when the peak of one wave and the trough of the other wave happen in the same place, then when we add these waves, we have a subtraction, and then the amplitude of the resultant wave is smaller than the amplitudes of the original waves (if both initial waves have the same amplitude, then the amplitude of the resultant wave in that position is zero).

Constructive interference: Similar to the previous case, but now the two waves have the peaks or toughs in the same position, then when we add the waves, we have an addition in the amplitude, then the amplitude of the resultant wave will be larger than the amplitudes of the initial waves.

Then if you are looking for constructive interference, you need to look for an option where the peaks of the waves coincide. For example, in the top image we can see, at the top, a wave with an amplitude of 2 units.

And at the bottom a wave with an amplitude of 1 unit.

We also can see that the peaks (and the tough) are in the same place, then we will have constructive interference. Then the amplitude of the resultant wave will be equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the initial waves (2 and 1)

Then the amplitude of the resultant wave is 2 units + 1 unit = 3 units.
