The different types of electromagnetic waves are all basically the same phenomenon; they differ in the frequency, and hence (since they all travel at the same speed, at least in a vacuum), also in the wavelength.The energy per photon (the particles that correspond to the wave) is directly proportional to the frequency.

Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?

Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


How fast are radio signals compared to other forms of electromagnetic waves?

Radio signals travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible for electromagnetic waves. This means that radio signals travel at the same speed as other forms of electromagnetic waves, such as visible light and X-rays.


What type of wave has the has the lowest frequency?

Radio waves in electromagnetic waves/water waves


What is a radio wave?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.


What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays


Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?

X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.


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.


What kind of wave are electromagnetic waves?

radio waves


Do visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves?

Yes, visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves. Visible light waves fall within the range of frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum that is higher than radio waves.


What are the characteristics of radio waves and how do they differ from other types of electromagnetic waves?

Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that have long wavelengths and low frequencies. They can travel long distances and penetrate obstacles like walls. Unlike other types of electromagnetic waves, such as visible light or X-rays, radio waves have lower energy levels and are used for communication and broadcasting purposes.


Are radio waves a example of electromagnetic waves?

Yes, they are the electromagnetic wave with the lowest frequency.


Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible rays?

Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
