Gamma Rays are the highest frequency waves. Lower than that are X-rays then Ultraviolet. Then visible light, infrared, microwave, and radio waves are the lowest frequency. Here is a link which gives more information http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/toolbox/emspectrum1.html

Is infrared a type of radiation ray?
yes so is am fm radio and tv signals
What are waves that travel through matter called?
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
What type of EMR has the longest wavelength?
A photon is a fundamental or elementary particle and the carrier of the electromagnetic field. In this light (no pun intended) it can be applied to all electromagnetic energy, including radio waves. There wouldn't be a "lowest frequency" of electromagnetic radiation that was not photonic. ---- ...or if there was it would have a wavelength the size of the Universe : ) Couldn't carry a whole lot of data there...
What type of ray is emitted from the sun?
The sun emits electromagnetic waves in the infra-red, visible, and ultra-violet range of the spectrum
What type of wave has the longest wavelength?
Radio waves are amongst the shortest. Gamma and X rays are shorter. The long wave lengths are at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum. These are called 'infra red,
Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?
The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.
What type of wave has the has the lowest frequency?
Radio waves in electromagnetic waves/water waves
Name the type of electromagnetic waves different shapes them base of the waveleght and frequency of light?
name the type of electromagnetic waves ---- ---- defferent shapes them base of the waveleght and frequency of light
What kind of waves are microwaves?
Electromagnetic waves, just like light, but with different frequency and wavelength.
What are microwaves one type of?
frequency
What waves carry more energy than other waves if the amplitudes of waves are equal?
In general, higher frequency waves carry more energy than waves of lower frequency if their amplitudes are equal. This is absolutely true of electromagnetic waves, and can probably be most easily demonstrated there.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the highest velocity?
Gamma waves have the highest frequency (and energy) of all the electromagnetic waves. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) from outer space (and that's about all we know of them!) have extraordinary high energies, and hence frequencies.
Which type of radio waves have highest frequency and are used in radar detection?
microwaves
Are microwaves a type of radio wave?
Microwaves are a frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than radio waves, but has a lower frequency than infrared light.
Are mocrowaves a type of infrared waves?
No. Mocrowaves and infrared waves are both different frequency bands of electromagnetic waves. X-rays and visible light are others.
What type of electromagnetic wave is used for television?
Radio waves. A bit higher in frequency than "radio", but not much.
What are the common name of electromagnetic waves?
The common name for electromagnetic waves is just that: "electromagnetic waves". There is no other commonly used term. Specific parts of the spectrum have common names, for example light (or visible light), radio waves, x-rays, etc. - but none of this means exactly the same as "electromagnetic waves". Visible light, for instance, is just one type (or frequency range) of electromagnetic waves.
