Question
how does the frequency of visible light compare to that of ultraviolet light? radio waves microwaves infrared ultraviolet x - rays gamma rays both have the same frequency, only different amplitudes visible light has a higher frequency than ultraviolet light visible light has a lower frequency than ultraviolet light all electromagnetic waves have the same frequency, but the wavelengths differ
In the electromagnetic spectrum, frequency and wavelength are inversely - related. Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than visible light. Since frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength ($c = \lambda
u$, where $c$ is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is wavelength, and $
u$ is frequency), visible light has a lower frequency than ultraviolet light.
