How do radio waves and x rays compare in terms of wavelength and energy?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
Radio waves are longer than X-rays and because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, X-Rays have more energy. The formula is 1.25uevm/wavelength, that is the energy is 1.25 micro electron volt divided by the wavelength in meters.

What are the different speeds of the electromagnetic spectrum?
In terms of speed, every part of the electromagnetic spectrum, (radio waves, infra-red, ultraviolet), all travel at the same speed in a vacuum, the speed of light, which is 300,000,000 m/s approx. In terms of energy, the low frequency and long wavelength end of the spectrum, such as radio, have a low energy as opposed to the high frequency and short wavelength end, such as gamma rays.
How are visible light radio waves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation different from each other?

How does water gas compare to methane in terms of thermal energy produced?
The molar heat of combustion of methane (890 kJ/mol) is higher than that of water gas (525 kJ/mol)
Compare aerobic respiration and fermentation in terms of efficiency of obtaining energy from glucose?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate provides the energy for the cells. Aerobic respiration is more efficient because it produces 32 ATP, while fermentation only produces 2 ATP.
Radio telescopes have poor resolving power because?
"Poor" is really a woosy adjective. If you're willing to express the size of the objective mirror in terms of wavelengths instead of inches or meters or yards, then a radio telescope and an optical telescope with equal diameters have equal resolving powers. The familiar difference in their dimensions is simply the obvious consequence of the difference in the wavelength of the signals they happen to be looking at. The shortest radio waves are something like 2,000 times as long as the longest light waves.
What kind of energy produces light?
Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, and depending on the wavelength specified, various types of energy from radio waves to gamma rays can be produced, gamma rays being of the highest energy and the shortest wavelength.
What is a form of electomanetic energy that can be described in terms of wavelength?
Radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy, the light as we saw is part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum of around 400 - 700 nm. When we generally speak of electromagnetic wave length we usually refer to radio to microwave of wavelength around 10-2 to 103 m but the whole span of wavelength from gamma ray to radio wave counted as electromagnetic wave.
How can you tell the wave has energy in itAnswer in terms of work?
Telling which wave has energy in it is easy. The higher the frequency and the lower the wavelength have the highest energy.
How broad is the radio spectrum?
The radio spectrum stretches from about 10 cm to about 10 km wavelength. In terms of the number of frequency doubles (think octave), this range is about 20.7 times the breadth of the visible light spectrum.
You are doing an ABC book on energy can you help?
An ABC book based on terms for energy would be a fun project. You can use A for Atom. J is for Joules. E is for Energy. K is for kilowatt. W is for Wavelength.

How do you compare ratios-?
To compare ratios, compare the products of the outer terms by the inner terms.
Describe the relationship between the wavelength and it's energy?
c is the speed of sound or the speed of light. You must know what you need. There is a relationship between the wavelength lambda and the frequency f. But forget the energy! c= lambda times f f is proportional to 1 / lambda. f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
What is pitch in terms of sound?
Either frequency or wavelength.
What pitch in terms of sounds?
Either frequency or wavelength.
