Blue light has a wavelength of 450-495 nm (nanometers or billionths of a meter). It falls in the higher frequency of the visible light spectrum.

Red has the longest wavelength (620-750 nm) and violet has the smallest wavelength in the visible spectrum. The human eye can perceive wavelengths ranging between 380 (violet) and 750 nm (red). Blue has the second shortest wavelength after violet.

These are the wavelength ranges for each of the seven colors that comprise the visible spectrum:

(Color) (Wavelength)

violet 380-450 nm

blue 450-495 nm

green 495-570 nm

yellow 570-590 nm

orange 590-620 nm

red 620-750 nm

What is the wavelength of blue light with a frequency of 6.82x1014 Hertz?

Wavelength is speed, of light, in this case, divided by frequency. 3 x 108 meters per second divided by 6.82 x 1014 Hertz is 0.4 micrometers.


How do the wavelength and frequency of red light compare to the wavelength and frequency of blue light?

Red light has a longer wavelength and lower frequency compared to blue light. Blue light has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency, which is why it appears bluer in color to the human eye.


Calculate the wavelength (in nm) of the blue light emitted by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 6.88 1014 Hz.?

To calculate the wavelength of the blue light emitted by the mercury lamp, use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. The speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. Convert Hz to s^-1 by dividing by 1/s. Then, plug the values into the formula to find the wavelength in meters, which can be converted to nanometers by multiplying by 10^9.


What is the lowest frequency blue or red?

Red has a lower frequency than blue. Blue light has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to red light.


As you move from the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum to the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the frequency of the light?

colour blue ------> red frequency drops, wavelength increases, because speed remains constant and speed=frequency*wavelength


In the light spectrum are red waves shorter than blue waves?

Red light waves are almost double the length of blue or violet light waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; red light has a higher frequency than blue light.


What is the diffrence between blue light and green light?

The color, the frequency, and the wavelength.


What is the frequency of blue light that has a wavelength of 451 nm?

The frequency of blue light with a wavelength of 451 nm is approximately 666 THz (terahertz). This can be calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. In this case, the speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s.


Between green light and red light which has a higher frequency?

Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light, (i.e. greater distance for one oscillation of red light compared to blue light) so there are less oscillations in the same period of time for red light, and thus red light has a lower frequency than blue light. More concisely: Wavelength = Wavespeed / Frequency , where wavespeed is constant So Frequency = Wavespeed / Wavelength Therefore as wavelength increases, frequency decreases. Make sense? Jack


What are the colors in order of increasing wavelength?

The longest wavelengths of light are the lowest frequencies (and the lowest energy and the longest period, too). These are the reds, and moving up the spectrum, we encounter orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The violet light has the shortest wavelength (highest frequency), and the highest energy. The infrared (IR) is below the red (longer wavelength and lower frequency), and the ultraviolet (UV) is above the violet (shorter wavelength and higher frequency).


Does yellow light have more energy than green light?

Yes. Blue light has a lower wavelength than yellow light, which is why it is perceived by out eyes as a different color. Blue light's wavelength is around 450 nanometers and yellow light's wavelength is around 575 nanometers. since the speed of light is constant for all light, and frequency is the speed of light over the wavelength of the light, the larger the wavelength, the lower the frequency. And the lower the frequency, the lower the energy. So the shorter wavelength of light (in this case, blue colored light) has a faster frequency, and therefore more energy.


Which light has high frequency?

The highest frequency (shortest wavelength) of visible lightis the light at the blue end of the visible spectrum.
