No, they're all waves, they're all the same!

What is the relationship between the color of light and its wavelength?
Each color has a wavelength and frequency associated with it. We're familiar with the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. These colors range from longer wavelength (lower frequency) red up through shorter wavelength (higher frequency) violet. As one moves up through those colors from red to violet, the color is an indication to relative wavelength.
Which waves would have a longer wave length those with 56Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?
Wavelength at 2 MHz = 149.896 meters Wavelength at 56 Hz = 5,353.437 meters Lower frequency --> longer wavelength. Higher frequency --> shorter wavelength When you multiply (frequency) times (wavelength), the result is always the same number.
Why do the waves with shorter wavelengths scatter more than those with long wavelength?
Because they use less energy then longer wavelengths hence they can go farther
What are greenhouse gases and how they are greenhouse gases?
Those gasses that allow the passage of shorter wavelength energy such as light but reflect or absorb longer wavelength energy such as heat. The main such gasses in our atmosphere are water vapour and carbon dioxide.
How do the wavelength and frequency of an X-ray compare with those of the red light from a neon sign?
The wavelength of an X-ray is much shorter than the wavelength of a red light from a neon sign. The frequency is much longer in an X-ray than the frequency of a red light from a neon sign.
Do waves with a shorter wavelengths travel faster than waves with longer wavelengths?
The physical length, short wavelengths are shorter than long wavelengthsThe frequency, short wavelengths are higher frequency than long wavelengthsThe energy per photon, short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths
Do microwaves from mobile phones have a longer or shorter wavelength than those used in a microwave oven?
Its a really bad idea to put your mobile phone in the microwave. I'm sure there are other fun things to do to pass the time
How do radio waves and x rays compare in terms of wavelength and energy?
Radio waves are longer than X-rays and because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, X-Rays have more energy. The formula is 1.25uevm/wavelength, that is the energy is 1.25 micro electron volt divided by the wavelength in meters.
Why x-rays have short wavelength?
Because "X-ray" is the name that Konrad Roentgen gave to the waves he discovered, which turned out to be shorter than ultraviolet but longer than gamma rays, and the name stuck. If those same waves were longer, they would not be called 'X-rays'.
Do animals mate the same way humans do?
Animal and human mating is similar, particularly for those that are mammals. But different. It takes longer for us but shorter for them.
Are the wavelengths of light at the red end of the spectrum longer or shorter than those at the blue end?
Longer.
The effects of nerve messages last a far longer time than do those of hormone?
shorter not longer
