Chapter 27, Problem 1RCQ
To determine
The one with higher frequency amongst red light or blue light.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
Blue light has higher frequency.
Explanation of Solution
The narrow band of visible light spectrum is detectable by human eye. The wavelength of the visible light spectrum has violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red lies between 380nm-750nm The red color has larger wavelength and violet color has least wavelength.
And we know wavelength is reciprocal of frequency. So, the red
Conclusion:
Hence, the blue light has higher frequency than red light.
