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.
any ideas? between violet and yellow, which has the higher wavelength?
violet
|dw:1528166710595:dw| hm, not quite, notice how yellow is more towards the higher wavelength end so yellow has the higher wavelength
what about frequency? which one is higher, yellow or violet?
violet
good, so violet has the higher frequency what about speed? violet or yellow?
violet has the higher energy
higher speed*
hm, that's a very good guess but keep in mind c = wavelength*frequency so all electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light
yellow?
"all electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light" so yellow light and purple light have the same speed (c)
