Question

Red light has a _____ wavelength and a _____ frequency than does blue light.

Answer 1

Red light has a lower wavelength and a longer frequency than does blue light.

Step-by-step explanation:

As can be seen on the electromagnetic spectrum, red light (and all visible light) has a lower frequency, and therefore a longer wavelength, than ultraviolet rays

v = c / λ

v = 1 / λ

v = frequency, λ = wavelength

Ultraviolet region to visible region wavelength increases

Ultraviolet region to red color wavelength increases

Red light has a low frequency and high wavelength than ultraviolet rays

Answer 2

In a spectrum of visible light, we will see that red appears to have a longer wavelength than the blue light. Since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional then, red will have a smaller frequency than does the blue light.
