No. In fact, when people try to carve up the EM spectrum into categories and types

and classifications and then name each part, they usually wind up giving the name

"radio waves" to the part with the longestwavelengths.

What radio wave with the greatest energy?

Gamma rays have the greatest energy among all the types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies, making them the most energetic.


What is the longest all the electro magnetic waves?

The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Of these, radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


Are radar waves visible?

No. Radar waves are one category of radio waves. Think of all the radio waves that are all around you right now . . . AM radio, FM radio, police and fire radio, highway patrol radio, taxi radio, television picture and sound radio waves, cellphone radio waves, garage-door-opener radio waves, bluetooth radio waves, WiFi waves, microwaves ... and you can't see any of them ! Radar waves can easily be there in the group.


What waves have the shortest wavelenght?

Gamma rays are the waves with the shortest wavelength. The waves having highest frequency have the shortest wavelength. As gamma rays have the highest frequency starting from 10^19 and onwards so they have the shortest wavelength starting from 10^-11 and decreasing.


Why is microwaves found between infrared and radio waves?

the electromagnetic spectrum (all existing radiation) is organized in order of shortest wavelength from the left to longest wavelength from the right. Infrared waves, felt as heat, are slightly longer than the visible light spectrum, and microwaves longer still, and radio waves longer still.


What are the 7 types of electromagnetic waves in order from longest to shortest?

What wave has the shortest wavelenghts?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths among all waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.


Do micro waves move faster than the radio waves?

Microwaves ARE radio waves, and they move with the same speed as all other electromagnetic waves.


How are visible light ultraviolet light infrared light x-rays gamma rays microwaves and radio waves related?

These are all forms of electromagnetic radiation, which travel in waves at different frequencies and wavelengths. They differ in energy levels and how they interact with matter. Electromagnetic spectrum ranges from radio waves with the lowest energy and longest wavelength to gamma rays with the highest energy and shortest wavelength.


Which characteristic is common to microwaves radio waves and television waves?

They are all radio waves with frequencies lower than visible light.


Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
