waves and wave properties

Front

What is the definition of frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that move past a specific point in one second.

Front

What color of light corresponds to a wavelength of 500nm?

Back

Green.

Front

Which color of light has a wavelength of 700nm?

Back

Red.

Front

What is the wavelength of light that has a frequency of 650nm?

Back

Orange.

Front

What happens to the frequency of a wave if its wavelength increases?

Back

The frequency decreases.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency in waves?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

Back

Approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (or about 300,000 km/s).

Front

What is the formula to calculate the speed of a wave?

Back

Speed = Wavelength × Frequency.

Front

What is the range of visible light wavelengths?

Back

Approximately 380nm to 750nm.

Front

What color corresponds to a wavelength of 450nm?

Back
