All electromagnetic waves ... including the ones you listed, plus heat, infrared,

ultraviolet, x-rays, etc. ... are all the same physical phenomenon. They differ

only in their wavelength (frequency).

By the way ... 'microwaves' are considered 'radio' waves.

What order do these increase wave length ultraviolet light microwaves radio waves X rays?

X-rays; UV; visible light; microwaves; radio waves.


Which travels faster radio waves or microwaves?

-- Microwave ARE radio waves.-- All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, including radio, microwaves,heat, infrared radiation, light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, and allthe others.


What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength greater than that of light?

Radio, microwaves, radar, and infrared radiation have.


What is IR light?

Infrared light is electromagnetic radiation and is invisible to us. Other types of invisible light are microwaves, radio, gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet light.


What are 2 electromagnetic waves besides light?

Two other electromagnetic waves besides light are radio waves and microwaves. Radio waves are used for communication, such as in radios and cell phones, while microwaves are commonly used for cooking and in technologies like radar.


What are some forms of radiation?

Visible light, radio, television and microwaves.


Do microwaves have the highest frequency?

No. Several other electromagnetic waves - including visible light - have a higher frequency.


Do radio and microwaves produce photoelectric effect?

No, radio waves and microwaves do not produce the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material when it is exposed to light of sufficient frequency (typically ultraviolet or higher). Radio waves and microwaves have lower frequencies and energies than light, so they are not capable of causing the photoelectric effect.


Why is light radio waves and microwave ovens related?

Light, radio waves, and microwave ovens are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Microwaves used in microwave ovens are a type of radio wave with a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than radio waves, but lower than visible light. This allows microwaves to be absorbed by water, fat, and sugars in food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat, which cooks the food.


Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.


What has a wavelength longer than visible light?

Assuming you mean other electromagnetic waves: that would be infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
