Yellow light has a longer wavelength than green light.

Which color of light has the higher frequency?

Asked by Beatrice402

Answer (3)

well wavelength=(speed of wave)/frequency so if wavelength is longer the frequency is shorter since yellow light has longer wavelength than green light yellow light has a shorter frequency than green light so green light has a higher frequency

Green light has a higher frequency than yellow light because it has a shorter wavelength. As wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.

In the visible light spectrum, different colors of light have different wavelengths and frequencies. Since yellow light has a longer wavelength than green light, it must correspondingly have a lower frequency.
Thus, green light has a higher frequency than yellow light.
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is given by the equation:
c = λν
where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelength, and ν is the frequency. Therefore, as wavelength increases, frequency decreases and vice versa.

Yellow light has a longer wavelength than green light, which means that green light has a higher frequency. The relationship between wavelength and frequency indicates that shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies. Therefore, green light has a higher frequency than yellow light.
