The velocity of visible light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, which is also equal to 186,282 miles per second. It varies slightly when passing through different mediums such as air, water, or glass due to changes in its wavelength and frequency.

What type of wave borders visible light at the red end of its range?
The type of electromagnetic wave the borders visible light at the red end of its range is the Infrared light wave.
Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?
The velocity of visible light waves is the same as the velocity of radio waves in a vacuum, both traveling at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second).
Which color of light in the visible spectrum has the longest wave length?
Red light has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
Can phase velocity exceed the speed of light?
Yes, phase velocity can exceed the speed of light in certain mediums. This is known as superluminal phase velocity. However, this does not violate the principle of causality or the speed of light in vacuum as it is the group velocity, rather than the phase velocity, that carries the information in a wave.
What is Visible wave?
Exactly what you asked me it was visible wave a wave you can see nut ball.
What type of wave borders visible light at the red end of its range?
The type of electromagnetic wave the borders visible light at the red end of its range is the Infrared light wave.
Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?
The velocity of visible light waves is the same as the velocity of radio waves in a vacuum, both traveling at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second).
If one of the waves represents infrared light and one wave represents visible light which wave represents visible light?
Without any other information, the one with a shorter wavelength/higher frequency will be visible light.
What is a type of em wave?
visible light
What has wave lengths longer than the wave lengths of visible light?
Radio waves, microwaves and infrared light have a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.
What is wavelength is visible light?
The wave length of visible light ranges from 400 nm to 700 nm
What wave has the greater wavelength?
A radio wave has a greater wavelength compared to a visible light wave.
What wave has wave lenghts between infrared and ultraviolet waves?
Visible light.
What determines if an electromagnetic wave emitted from an object is a visible light wave or a wave of infrared radia?
The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave determines whether it is visible light or infrared radiation. Visible light has shorter wavelengths than infrared radiation. The range of wavelengths for visible light is approximately 400-700 nanometers, while infrared radiation has longer wavelengths ranging from 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter.
What type of wave transports visible light?
Visible Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves often are called different things depending on the wavelength of the wave. Examples are Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma Rays.
What is the longest wave of all visible light?
red
