Wavelength

[JafarriNocentelli 1G]

Are there any instances where something possesses both a high and low wavelength? Meaning that their radioactive threat is unpredictable?

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean but I don't think so but I would double check with your TA/Dr. Lavelle. Wavelength is the distance over which the wave repeats, so I don't think it could have low wavelength and high wavelength at the same time. But you're right about low wavelength being dangerous!

I hope this somehow helped...

I believe that this question is outside of the scope of this class. I would assume that it can not have a low and high wave length at the same time, but its wavelength could be changed by environmental factors.

Whilst I'm not sure, I would assume that it is possible to have a high and low frequency for radioactivity.

Can you determine wavelength and frequency with only nm?

Can you determine wavelength and frequency with only nm?

I'm guessing that by nm you're referring to a wavelength. If so, the answer is yes; frequency and wavelength are related to each other in that their product is equal to c, the speed of light. Because c is a constant, if we're given a wavelength, we can always determine the frequency as well.

Thank you so much, this makes a lot of sense. I also didn’t realize that wavelength is measured with “nm”. That’s where I kept messing up on

Yes you can determine frequency and wavelength given a value in "nm"
