1. Find the wavelength of your color
- The visible yellow light has a wavelength of about 570 nm
2. Find the frequency
- The frequency of yellow light is 5.3 1014 Hz
3. What part of the spectrum is your light in?
- Around the 10-6 part (infrared rays)
4. What color would 3 X your wavelength be? Is it even visible?
- 570X3=1750
- The spectrum color ranges from 400 to 700 nanometers so the color would not be visible.
5. What's the difference between red shifting and blue shifting?
- Red shifting means that an object is moving away.
- Blue shifting means that an object is moving towards us.
6. Explain to me what diffraction is.
- Basically diffraction is the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge.
