Speed is synonymous to velocity. velocity can have the units m/s. Wavelength is in "m" and frequency has units of "hz". 1 Hz is the same as saying 1 per second. So, Hz = 1/s. If you multiply your two variables, you will end up with units of m/s. Again, m/s is velocity, which is speed. The math is easy, but understanding the equations is tricky. The answer is (5.8x10^-7m) x (5.17x10^14 hz)

What is the frequency opf UV?

UV has a wavelenght of 400nm and less you can calculate the frequency with this formula V (frequency) = c (speed of light) / λ (wavelenght)


Who is wavelenght is longer visible light or ultraviolet light?

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


How coud you find the wavelenght of light you knew its speed and frecucey?

wavelength = velocity / frequency


Which has a lower frequency yellow light or blue light?

Yellow light has the lower frequency.


Light that has a wavelenght of 3cm has what frequency?

Frequency can be calculated using Velocity/Wavelength. 3x108m/s / 3x10-2m = 1010s-1 So that's 1010 Hz, or 10GHz.


The portion of the visible spectrum that appears brightest to the human eye is around 560 nm in wavelenght which corresponds to yellow green. What is the frequency os 560 nm light?

What has a greater frequency yellow light or green light?

green


Why is yellow light used instead of red light in fog lamp?

Light has characteristics such as frequency, luminosity (intensity)Though red has lowest frequency it has less luminance where as yellow has more luminance. Hence yellow is used.


What is the wavelenght of a radio wave?

Every radio wave has a different length. It depends on the frequency and is inversely proportional to the speed of light. K1ATV, Mesa AZ


Does yellow light have a greater frequency than green light?

Orange has a longer wavelength than yellow. On the spectrum of visible light red is longest and violet is shortest.


How does the light behave on each object?

light consist of many wavelenght and different wavelenght will be absorb by different object leaving certain wavelenght to escape and thus the colour of the object is shown


Is the frequency of purple light higher or lower than yellow light?

higher
