Questions and Answers

Which color in the visible spectrum holds the most energy?

Violet (correct)

Green

Blue

Yellow

What is the relationship between the wavelength and energy of light?

Longer wavelength means higher energy

Shorter wavelength means higher energy (correct)

Shorter wavelength means lower energy

Longer wavelength means lower energy

Why does violet light have the most energy in the visible spectrum?

Because it has the highest frequency (correct)

Because it has the middle wavelength

Because it has the lowest frequency

Because it has the longest wavelength

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet Signup and view all the answers

Why is it important to understand the energy of different colors in the visible spectrum?

Because it has implications for various applications in physics and engineering Signup and view all the answers

What is the primary reason why violet light is perceived as having a shorter wavelength than red light?

The shorter wavelength of violet light is a result of its higher frequency Signup and view all the answers

In the context of a rainbow formed in a waterfall, what is the primary role of the water droplets?

To refract light, separating it into its component colors Signup and view all the answers

What is the relationship between the angle of refraction and the angle of incidence in a rainbow?

The angle of refraction is always less than the angle of incidence Signup and view all the answers

Why do we see a circular shape when observing a rainbow in a waterfall?

Because the observer is positioned at the center of the circle Signup and view all the answers

What is the primary reason why we do not see a rainbow in a waterfall when the sun is directly overhead?

The angle of incidence is too small, resulting in no refraction Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Light and Energy

Violet light has the most energy in the visible spectrum, with a frequency of around 800 terahertz (THz) and a wavelength of approximately 380-450 nanometers (nm)

Rainbow Formation

A rainbow is formed when sunlight passes through water droplets in the air at an angle of around 42 degrees, causing refraction and dispersion of light
This refraction separates the white light into its individual colors, which are then dispersed over the sky, creating the colors of the rainbow
The angle of the sun, the observer, and the water droplets are crucial in producing the rainbow effect

Rainbow in a Waterfall

When sunlight passes through the mist of a waterfall, it creates a miniature rainbow effect, often referred to as a "fogbow"
The mist of the waterfall acts as a prism, separating the white light into its individual colors, which are then visible as a rainbow
The position of the sun, the observer, and the waterfall mist determine the visibility and angle of the rainbow
