What wave is shorter than a microwave and longer than visible light?

The wave that is shorter than a microwave and longer than visible light is called an infrared wave. Infrared waves have wavelengths longer than visible light waves but shorter than microwaves, making them useful for various applications such as thermal imaging and communication technology.


What type of wave is a microwave?

a microwave is an electromagnetic wave.================Answer #2:A microwave is a radio wave with a wavelengthless than 10 cm (frequency greater than 3 GHz).


Which type electromagnetic waves has slightly longer wavelengths than red light?

There are a few categories of electromagnetic with a shorter wavelength (higher frequency) than visible light. These include ultra-violet light, X-rays, and gamma rays.


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

No, both light in air and radiation from a microwave oven travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. Therefore, they both travel at the same speed.


Which one is faster infra red light or light?

All electromagnetic (EM) radiation travels at the same speed in a vacuum. However in a different medium, for example a glass triangular prism, the speed depends on the frequency of the EM radiation, and on the material it travels through. Generally for transparent materials, infra-red will travel faster than visible light. This frequency dependence of the speed is what causes dispersion and can be seen in rainbows.

What is Microwave infrared and visible light?

Microwave, infrared, and visible light are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. Microwave has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies, often used for communication and cooking. Infrared has shorter wavelengths than microwaves and is commonly used in night vision technology. Visible light is the range of wavelengths that the human eye can detect, making it essential for vision and various technologies.


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.


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 is the greatest energy microwave or infrared?

Microwave radiation generally has greater energy than infrared radiation. Microwaves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to infrared radiation, which results in lower energy levels for infrared rays.


Does infrared or ultraviolet have the shorter wavelength?

UV light has a shorter wavelength than infrared.


What is the definition of infrared waves?

Infrared waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than microwave radiation. They are commonly used in technologies such as heat sensing, communication, and remote controls.


Is infrared light considered hotter or cooler than visible light?

Infrared light is considered cooler than visible light.


What travels faster ultraviolet waves or infrared waves in space?

Ultraviolet waves travel faster than infrared waves in space because they have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. The speed of electromagnetic waves, including ultraviolet and infrared, in space is determined by the speed of light, which is a constant value in a vacuum.


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.
