Question
Which of these statements describe visible light waves? Choose the two that apply. A. Red light has a longer distance between wave crests than blue light. B. Yellow light has a shorter distance between wave crests than green light. C. Blue light has a longer distance between wave crests than red light. D. Blue light has a shorter distance between wave crests than orange light. E. Orange light has a shorter distance between wave crests than violet light.
Solution
The correct answers are:
A. Red light has a longer distance between wave crests than blue light.
D. Blue light has a shorter distance between wave crests than orange light.
Explanation:
Visible light is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and different colors of light correspond to different wavelengths. Red light has the longest wavelength and therefore the longest distance between wave crests. On the other hand, blue and violet light have shorter wavelengths, meaning the distance between their wave crests is shorter. Therefore, red light has a longer distance between wave crests than blue light, and blue light has a shorter distance between wave crests than orange light (which is closer to red in the spectrum).
