Just like any other wave phenomenon, its frequency is measured in large multiples
of Hertz (Hz), its wavelength is measured in small fractions of a meter (m), and its
speed is measured in meters/second .

Is gamma ray a visible light?
No, gamma rays are not visible to the human eye.
What is light measured in?
The measurement of light is in lumins. Pronounced ( loo-mins)
What units are distances to stars measured in and why?
Usually such distances are measured either in light-years, or in parsecs.
What type of spectrum does the Sun's photosphere produce?
Visible light is a portion of the electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. Stars Emit their own light. visible Light has a Wavelength of around 80 or 400 nm to about 760 or 780 nm
How visible are match candle and ball in the dark room?
they're visible because the match is producing light.
How does the speed of microwaves compare to the speed of visible light when measured in a vacuum?
They are equal.
Can a nanometer measure a wavelength?
Yes. The wavelengths of visible light are usually measured in nanometers.
Can color of visible light spectrum be measured?
The wavelength and frequency of any given color can be measured with greatprecision. But by far the quickest and easiest way to distinguish one color ofvisible light from another is to look at it.
Energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called?
The energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called photons. These photons have discrete values of energy, meaning there is exact amounts of energy these have, and don't vary in decimal places.
Is wavelength measured in hertz or meters?
Usually, no. The wavelength of visible light is usually measured in nanometers. Only larger forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, are measured in meters.
What is the unit astronomers most often use to express the wavelength of light called?
The wavelength of light is expressed in different metric subunits derived from meters. For example, radio waves are measured in meters, visible light is measured in nanometers, and gamma rays are measured in picometers.I believe that would be the nanometer. In the past, the angstrom (= 1/10 nm) has been frequently used.
The amount of light reaching us from a star?
The amount of light, or brightness, of a star is measured by it magnitude - the lower the magnitude the brighter the object. The following gives an idea of the range when measured in visible light: The sun (as viewed from Earth) is at a magnitude of -26.73The darkest object visible to the naked eye (under very dark conditions) is at around magnitude 7.7The faintest visible object that can be seen by the Hubble Space Telescope is around magnitude 31.
Which type of rays are visible?
visible light is the only VISIBLE light.
What does a laser wavelength do?
Light wavelengths are indicators of how often photons rise and fall. Visible light, for example, has a wavlength of about 380 nanometres. Laser wavelengths are measured in the same way.
How the speed of visible light compare with gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?
Visible light and gamma rays are different parts of the full spectrum of light. Since they are really both just light, they travel at the same speed, the speed of light. 186,000 miles per second.
What kind of light is normal light that you use?
The answer is visible light. Visible light is light that can be seen with a naked eye
What is difference between visible and infrared light?
Visible light is visible (for the human eye), infrared is not. Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a higher frequency. visible light is visible to human i.e the VIBGYOR, above vibgyor are ultravoilet light which is not visible to human eye and below vibgyor are infrared light which is also not visible to human eye.
