Violet light has higher energy than yellow light. Write 3 - 4 sentences comparing these electromagnetic waves with respect to the following properties: wavelength, frequency, and speed.

Vocaloid:

any ideas? between violet and yellow, which has the higher wavelength?

zarkam21:

violet

Vocaloid:

|dw:1528166710595:dw| hm, not quite, notice how yellow is more towards the higher wavelength end so yellow has the higher wavelength

Vocaloid:

what about frequency? which one is higher, yellow or violet?

zarkam21:

violet

Vocaloid:

good, so violet has the higher frequency what about speed? violet or yellow?

zarkam21:

violet has the higher energy

zarkam21:

higher speed*

Vocaloid:

hm, that's a very good guess but keep in mind c = wavelength*frequency so all electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light

zarkam21:

yellow?

Vocaloid:

"all electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light" so yellow light and purple light have the same speed (c)
