Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
What are electromagnetic waves with frequencies highter than ultraviolet rays but lower than gamma rays?
Infrared, microwave, and radio are electromagnetic radiation with lower frequencies than visible light.
What is the difference between light energy and radio wave energy?
Visible light and radio waves are both two types of the same radiation (electromagnetic waves). The difference is that visible light has a higher frequency; a higher energy per photon; and a smaller wavelength.
Would microwaves have a high or low penetrating ability relative to other em waves?
microwaves are more penetrative than gamma rays, UV radiation and visible light, but less so than radio waves.
How does frequency vary different forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We call light electromagnetic radiation with certain frequencies; higher frequencies and we call it Ultra violet, X-rays and gamma radiation. Frequencies lower than light we call infra red, and radio.
What telescope does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
Is light part of the radio spectrum?
No, light is not part of the radio spectrum. But, both the radio spectrum and light are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of frequencies from very low to very high. Light frequencies are higher than radio frequencies but both are the same kind of thing.
What are the differences between xray and visible light?
The X-rays have shorter wavelengths ... shorter than the shortest wave to which the eye responds.
Which characteristic is common to microwaves radio waves and television waves?
They are all radio waves with frequencies lower than visible light.
What has lower frequencies than visible light?
Infra red Rays, Microwaves, T.V Waves and Radio Waves
What are electromagnetic waves with frequencies highter than ultraviolet rays but lower than gamma rays?
Infrared, microwave, and radio are electromagnetic radiation with lower frequencies than visible light.
Which of this telescopes does not use visual light energy?
Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Also, ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.
What are spectrums of light?
Light is a range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. This is the same stuff that makes radio frequencies, X-rays, microwaves (like the ones used to heat food). The range or group of frequencies that make up visible light plus ultraviolet and infrared light are referred to the visual spectrum. The others are the radio spectrum, the microwave spectrum, etc.
What is extremely low frequency radiation?
Low frequency waves are waves with long wavelengths, by definition, since their cycle is slowly repeated. One example is AM radio waves compared to visible light waves. AM radio waves have a frequency of around 1 MegaHertz (1,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 meters long. In contrast, visible light waves have a frequency of around 500 TeraHertz (300,000,000,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 nanometers long (.000000500 meters).
What type of radiation lies at frequencies just below the frequencies of visible light?
Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
What is the difference between light energy and radio wave energy?
Visible light and radio waves are both two types of the same radiation (electromagnetic waves). The difference is that visible light has a higher frequency; a higher energy per photon; and a smaller wavelength.
