Question

Color Spectrum -True False ( Please state your reason )

1. Red Light has a higher frequency than orange light does

2. Yellow Light has a shorter wavelength than green light does

3. Red Light Travels slower than blue light does in a vacuum

4. "White light" contains light of many different frequencies, but ideally "monochromatic" light has only one frequency

5. Gamma-Rays have the highest frequncies of any waves in the EM spectrum

6. As light passes from air into glass, its direction of travel bends, bi its speed does not change

7. A light wave's direction of polarization is determined by the plane in whihch its magnetic-field vectors lie

8. Visible light exibits polarization, but radio waves, microwaves and x-rays do not.

1) FALSE. colors arranged in decreasing order of frequency : VIBGYOR. Red light has lower frequency than Orange.

2) FALSE. colors arranged in increasing order of wavelength : VIBGYOR. Yellow has a longer wavelength than Green.

3) FALSE. All travel at same speed in vacuum.

4) TRUE. monochromatic means 1 color which means 1 frequency.

5) TRUE. Gamma lies to the leftmost side when arranges according to decreasing frequency.

6) FALSE. speed is reduced and becomes c/n.

7) FALSE. it's determined by electric field direction.

8) FALSE. All E-M waves will show polarization. They are of same kind.
