Speed of Sound and Light

  1. Which color had the lowest frequency?
Violet 

  1. What is the relationship of the red wavelength to the green wavelength?
 Red has a higher frequency than green

  1. What is the relationship of the red wavelength to the violet wavelength?
 The ends of the rainbow, red has a lower wavelength than violet 

  1. What is the relationship of the red frequency to the green frequency?
 Red has a lower frequency than green 

  1. What is the relationship of the red frequency to the violet frequency?
 red has a lower frequency than violet 

  1. If waves are moving at the same speed, what is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?
 They are all part of the viable spectrum and part of the light coming from the sun 

  1. Based on the above relationship, if you were to look at a blue wave, would it have a higher or lower frequency than the green wave?
 higher 

  1. Based on the above relationship, if you were to look at an orange wave, would it have a longer or shorter wavelength than the green wave?
 longer 

  1. If Velocity = Distance / Time, what was the velocity of the waves in this lab?

 velocity
