   • Colours of Light
   • To Summarise

   These different colours of light have different wavelengths and frequencies. Red light has the longest wavelength, and the lowest frequency of the visible spectrum. Violet has the shortest wavelength, and the highest frequency of the visible spectrum.

   Mixing coloured materials, such as paint, is an example of subtractive colour mixing. Red paint appears red to us because when white light strikes it, the red pigments reflect the red wavelengths of light and absorball of the wavelengths. This reflected light is what is seen by our eyes. The same is true for all of the other colours. So what about ...

   Nov 14, 2024 · Light - Wavelength, Frequency, Amplitude: From ripples on a pond to deep ocean swells, sound waves, and light, all waves share some basic characteristics. Broadly speaking, a wave is a disturbance that propagates through space.

8. People also ask

   What are the properties of light waves?

   • Light has the properties of waves. Like ocean waves, light waves have crests and troughs. The distance between one crest and the next, which is the same as the distance between one trough and the next, is called the wavelength. The frequency of a wave is the number of crests (or troughs) that pass a point in one second.

   Why are light waves called electromagnetic waves?

   • Light Waves are considered electromagnetic waves because they travel in a vacuum and don't need a medium to travel through. Electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum... all is absorbed or reflected; mirrors, reflected.

   What are some examples of light?

   • Examples of light include radio and infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and X-rays. Interestingly, not all light phenomena can be explained by Maxwell’s theory. Experiments performed early in the twentieth century showed that light has corpuscular, or particle-like, properties.

   What are the characteristics of a wave?

   • Light - Wavelength, Frequency, Amplitude: From ripples on a pond to deep ocean swells, sound waves, and light, all waves share some basic characteristics. Broadly speaking, a wave is a disturbance that propagates through space. Most waves move through a supporting medium, with the disturbance being a physical displacement of the medium.

   What is the light part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

   • Light part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The radio waves that let us listen to music are on this spectrum as are the infrared waves that let us communicate with our TVs. The electromagnetic spectrum (Source: NASA). Shown is a colour illustration of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelength, frequency and energy.

   Are all light waves absorbed or reflected?

   • Not all light waves are absorbed or reflected. When light waves bounce off an object, they are reflected. However, when they encounter materials, they can also be absorbed. For instance, light waves cause a spoon to look bent or broken due to some light rays being bent (refracted) instead of being reflected or absorbed. Translucent objects do not transmit light perfectly.
