What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?
Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications). X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers. Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light. There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.
Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
frequency energy wavelength
Are gamma rays and radio waves the most dangerous waves?
Gama rays and radio waves together with the light for example are all electromagnetic waves. The properties of the waves depends on the frequency. If they have higher frequency, the have also higher energy which could be absorbed by body. This list shows electromagnetic spectrum. The waves are ordered from the lowest frequency to highest, which is the most dangerous. - radio - microwave - infrared - visible - ultraviolet - x-ray - gama rays However, the distance from the source of the radiation is important. That's why are scientists arguing about the harmfulness of mobile phones. On the other hand, well protected and shielded nuclear power plant is absolutely harmless.
Purpose for inventing the radio?
The German Physicist Heinrich Hertz was the first to generate electromagnetic radiation (radio waves) and detect them on the other side of the laboratory. He did that in 1888, when Benjamin Franklin had been dead for 98 years.
What are some natural sources of radio waves?
We generally think of radio waves (radio electromagnetic radiation) as those frequencies of electromagnetic (EM) radiation that fall within a band of frequencies below those of light. These include microwave bands, on which satellites communicate and cell phone operate, as well as the familiar microwave oven. Radar also operates in this band. Below that we find television signals, as well as some two-way radio signals. Other forms of communications radio signals (like amateur or "ham" radio) as well as broadcast radio operate below the television bands. By considering the types of equipment mentioned above, it is possible to make a list of some sources of radio electromagnetic radiation.
List electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength?
The electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
What are the electromagnetic waves from smallest wavelength to largest?
With longest wavelength to shortest Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible radiations, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray
What are the different speeds of the electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of different types of electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio waves (longest wavelength and lowest frequency) to gamma rays (shortest wavelength and highest frequency). In order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength, the spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum and list the types of radiation?
It is the different types of waves in light. All waves travel at the same speed which is nearly 300 million m/s.Anyway:Radio Waves - longest wavelength, smallest frequencyMicrowavesInfraredVisible LightUltravioletX-RayGamma Rays - shortest wavelength, largest frequency
Which form of electromagnetic radiation can be shorter than ultraviolet but longer than gamma rays?
The list of electromagnetic spectrum with an increasing wavelength is given: Gamma rays X rays Ultra violet Visible Infra red Micro waves Radio waves. Now you yourself can pick the needed answer.
What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?
Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications). X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers. Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light. There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.
What electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength out of radio waves Infared waves X-rays Ultraviolet light and Gamma Rays?
The shortest on this list is gamma rays.The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:RadioInfra-redUltravioletX-raysGamma rays
What is eletromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. (frequency = wave oscillations per second) Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories: Radiowave Microwave Infrared Visible (light) Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Rays [This list is in increasing order of frequency)
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x ray gamma ray?
X-rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
From shortest to longest wavelength what correctly orders the different categories of electromagnetic radiation?
The correct order from shortest to longest wavelength for the different categories of electromagnetic radiation is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
What (types) waves make up the electromagnetic spectrum?
Electormagnetic (EM) waves are all the waves and subsequent wavelengths that make up the Electromagnetic Spectrum. This includes but is not limited to: Radio Waves Infered Waves Visible Light Micro Waves X- Rays If you want a complete list look up the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Which will have the longest wavelengths light waves X-rays or radio waves?
Of the items on that list, radio has the longest wavelength and x-rays have the shortest.
