...Wtf. Brb reading textbook

 

[hscishard]

Ok so I was right at one thing...
Still don't get you though

 

[ohexploitable]

OH MY FUCKING GOD

Disregard everything I've said, I mixed up the refractive indexes of green and yellow when i was working them out...

Green light travels faster than yellow light.

 

[ohexploitable]

Sorry

 

[hscishard]

No you are right. Yellow has a greater wavelength(research). Therefore greater velocity. Wtf, how are we meant to derive this from your question?

 

[ohexploitable]

Great... now I think green is faster and you think yellow is faster...

 

[hscishard]

Lol we switched sides

 

[ohexploitable]

Wtf, how are we meant to derive this from your question?

Easy...

Ultraviolet ----- ROY G. BIV ----- Infrared

lower λ ----------------------------- higher λ

 

[ohexploitable]

Oh wait... other way round...

 

[ohexploitable]

Infrared ----- ROY G. BIV ----- Ultraviolet

higher λ ----------------------------- lower λ

 

[hscishard]

Yea, I haven't memorised that table.

Lol...so what is the answer?

 

[hscishard]

Infrared ----- ROY G. BIV ----- Ultraviolet

higher λ ----------------------------- lower λ

Same thing.

Infrared ----- ROY G. BIV ----- Ultraviolet

lower λ ----------------------------- higher λ

 

[hscishard]

Same thing.

Infrared ----- ROY G. BIV ----- Ultraviolet

higherλ ----------------------------- lowerλ

Oh wtf. I give up.

 

[ohexploitable]

I'm gonna wait for someone else to post...

 

[ohexploitable]

Oh wtf. I give up.

The violet part has to go to the ultraviolet part.

 

[hscishard]

The violet part has to go to the ultraviolet part.

Ooo nice way to remember thx

 

[ohexploitable]

Ooo nice way to remember thx

Yar, also red goes to infrared.

 

[hscishard]

I feel like that this was a trick question. Because all waves in the electro. spectrum travel at the speed of light.

 

[ohexploitable]

All EMR travels at the speed of light ONLY in a vacuum.
