Yes, thanks very much everyone! I have also learned a great deal here about this stuff.
Here's another question I have (oh no!!) lol:
Since photons in a wave of light always move at the speed of light, if the frequency of one wave was higher than another, wouldnt the higher-frequency's wave take longer to get somewhere than the light with a lower frequency over a long distance, (on a longitudal line). Since the frequency is higher, the waves are shorter and go up and down alot more than the straighter, low-frequency photon flow. This would mean the higher-frequency photon has to travel faster through its waves to keep up with the other wave, which is impossible Can someone clear this up for me?
Also, do waves travel in a mere line up and down, or does it sort of swirl as it travels?
Last question: Electrons spin while in an oribital around an atom--do they spin all at the same speed universally, and is it possible to determine the speed of this spin?
