To calculate the number of yellow light waves that will fit into a distance of 0.003 inches, you need to know the wavelength of yellow light. Yellow light typically has a wavelength of around 570-590 nanometers. With this information, you can use the formula: number of waves = distance/wavelength to find the answer.

Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x-rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?

Yellow light has the lowest frequency among the electromagnetic waves listed. The frequency of electromagnetic waves increases from radio waves to gamma rays, with yellow light falling in the visible light spectrum.


Which of these kinds of electromagnetic waves has the lowest frequency x rays infrared light ultraviolet light blue light or yellow light?

Yellow light has the lowest frequency among the electromagnetic waves listed.


When an object appears to be yellow what color of the spectrum is reflected?

When an object appears yellow, it is reflecting yellow light waves predominantly from the visible spectrum. This means that the object is absorbing other colors of light (like blue and red) and reflecting the yellow light, which is perceived by our eyes as the color yellow.


Why is the sunlight reaching the earth yellowish?

Sunlight is actually light waves of different frequencies. Some of these waves are part of the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV), and therefore sunlight appears white, a combination of all the frequencies in the visible light spectrum. Light waves with lower frequencies appear more red or orange. Light waves with higher frequencies appear violet or blue. When sunlight shines down through the atmosphere, the particles in the air scatter the light waves of higher frequencies, therefore spreading the waves in different directions in the sky (This is why the sky appears blue). The lower frequency waves reach our eyes mostly undisturbed. Since sunlight has light frequencies dominant in yellow, that's the color we see.


Light waves are classified as what waves?

Optical light waves are "Electromagnetic" waves. The colour seen is dependent on the wavelength of the light. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves where the oscillation is 90 degrees to the direction of travel (unlike sound waves which are longitudinal).

Why does a yellow pencil appear yellow?

A yellow pencil appears yellow because it reflects yellow light waves while absorbing other colors. The pigment or dye used to color the pencil is designed to selectively reflect yellow light, giving it its yellow appearance.


How can yellow light ultraviolet waves and xrays be described?

they are electromagnetic. So they have an electromagnetic spectrum.


The maximum distance a molecule has been moved from its normal position by a wave is?

The maximum distance a molecule can be moved from its normal position by a wave is equal to the amplitude of the wave. This distance is typically small for light waves (such as electromagnetic waves) but can be more significant for mechanical waves like sound waves or water waves.


What is the complete range of light waves organized by wavelength?

Light waves are organized by R.O.Y.G.B.I.V. Which is the rainbow, red ,orange,yellow,green,blue,indgo,and vilolet. Also by wavelengths.


What color is hardest to read at a distance?

Red, especially in low contrast situations. At night blue is hard to read (the eye does not focus blue as well as longer wavelengths)


Is the hue decibels amplitude and wavelengths characteristics of light waves and sound waves?

Hue refers to the color of light waves, while decibels measure the amplitude or loudness of sound waves. Wavelength is a characteristic of both light and sound waves, representing the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase.


What is distomate?

Distomat is an instrument used to measure distance using light and radio waves.


Which color light has the longest wavelength-green violet or yellow?

Between Yellow, Green and Violet, the Yellow color has the longest light wave. The order of the 7 rainow colors, sorted by their light waves from the longest to the shortest, is as follows: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.


Give two differences between red yellow and blue light waves?

they travel at a different frequency.


How do electromagnetic waves and light years relate?

Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. Therefore, when we talk about distances in space, such as the distance between stars or galaxies, we often use light years as a unit of measurement. A light year is the distance that light travels in one year, which is approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers.
