Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?
Yes, it does. UV-C wavelength is 200-280 nanometers, UV-B is 280-320 nm, and UV-A is 320-400nm.
Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?
Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
What kind of light has a wavelength shorter than green light is it red light raido waves X-rays or infrared waves?
In th visible spectrum blue and violet light are shorter than green. x-rays are way shorter than green.
Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?
UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?
Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.
Is it true ultraviolet light had longer wavelength than visible light?
No, UV light has more energy than visible light and therefore has a shorter wavelength
The shorter the wavelength of visible light means what?
The shorter the wavelength of visible light, the higher the frequency and the greater the energy of the photons.
Is visible light longer or shorter then rays?
Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.
Does red or violet have the shortest wavelength?
Ultraviolet has a shorter wavelength than red, green, or infrared light.
Does heat have shorter or longer wavelength than light?
Heat has longer wavelength / lower frequency than visible light.
What is the light called that the retina can detect?
"visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types. "visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types.
Electromagnetic wave has a shorter wavelength than visible light waves?
Ultraviolet and up have shorter wavelengths.
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?
Yes, it does. UV-C wavelength is 200-280 nanometers, UV-B is 280-320 nm, and UV-A is 320-400nm.
What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.
