What are 3 forms of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength higher than visible light?

infrared, microwave, radio


What are some forms of radiation other than light?

Radio, Microwave, infrared,Gamma rays, and X-rays


Is the frequency slower than light infrared?

First off, frequency isn't a measure of speed, so infrared light is neither faster, nor slower than any other type of light. Second, infrared light is just that, LIGHT, so, its frequency is different than that of other lights, but it's not less than "light" because that wouldn't make any sense at all.With that cleared out of the way, yes, the frequency of infrared light is less than that of visible light.


Does light in air travel faster than radiation from microwave oven?

No, they travel at the same speed.


Is it true or false that microwave ovens use a type of infrared wave?

Microwave ovens employ microwave radiation, which is lower in frequency than infrared radiation, to generate the heat in the food they cook. They don't use infrared radiation per se.


What are electromagnetic waves with frequencies highter than ultraviolet rays but lower than gamma rays?

Infrared, microwave, and radio are electromagnetic radiation with lower frequencies than visible light.


What does microwave stands for?

Microwaves are wavelengths of light that are shorter than radio waves, but longer than infrared light waves. The wavelength range is 1 meter to 1mm. One particular wavelength is optimum for being absorbed by water, and this is what "microwave ovens" are tuned to produce. This is 2.45 GHz, which is about 12.2cm wavelength.


Where is visible light found in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Electromagnetism is manifest along a continuum between slower radio waves and faster energy gamma waves. Visible light can be found in the range between infrared light (slower than waves of visible light) and ultraviolet light (faster than waves of visible light).


Infrared light differs from red light in?

Frequency. Infrared light has a lower frequency; less than 400 Terahertz


Do radio wave microwave and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelengths than visible light?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.


Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths just longer than light is?

Infra-red radiation has a wavelength adjacent to but longer than visible light.


A sentence with the word infrared?

Infrared light is light with a longer wavelength than red. Here are some sentences.Humans cannot see infrared light without special goggles.Infrared light creates a lot of heat.Many animals can see infrared light.
