There are hundreds if not thousands of different categories for EM radiation that extend through history. From the broad: radio, microwave, infrared, visible, UV, X-ray, gamma, the modifiers "short wave" and "long wave"... to the specific colors of each line/ wavelength / frequency, to the characteristic spectra of the elements and / or chemical compounds.
What else can I help you with?
How are radio waves different from other waves on the EM spectrum?
They have different wavelength.
How em waves different from mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
Name all the categories of the EM spectrum?
The categories of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, in the ascending order of their frequencies are:RadioMicrowaveInfraredVisibleUltravioletX-rayGammaHence, Radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelengths while Gamma rays have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelengths.(check related link for an image)
How is a electromagnetic wave different from a EM waves?
They're the same. EM stands for electromagnetic.
Do radio waves have the shortest wavelegnth of all EM waves?
No. In fact, when people try to carve up the EM spectrum into categories and typesand classifications and then name each part, they usually wind up giving the name"radio waves" to the part with the longestwavelengths.
HOW are EM wave different from mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves require a medium while Electromagnetic waves does not.
Is a EM wave a sound wave?
No, electromagnetic (EM) waves are different from sound waves. EM waves are vibrations of electric and magnetic fields that do not need a medium to travel through, while sound waves are mechanical vibrations that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate.
What does E in EM wave stand for?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
What is range of wavelengths of em waves?
Electromagnetic (EM) waves encompass a broad spectrum of wavelengths, ranging from extremely short gamma rays, which can be less than 0.01 nanometers, to very long radio waves, which can exceed 100 kilometers. The entire range of EM waves is typically divided into categories, including gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The visible spectrum, which is the portion of EM radiation detectable by the human eye, ranges from about 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red). Overall, the wavelength range of EM waves spans from about 10^-12 meters to over 10^3 meters.
What em waves are used in rainbows?
Rainbows are formed when sunlight, which is a combination of various electromagnetic (EM) waves, interacts with water droplets in the atmosphere. The sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed, resulting in the separation of different wavelengths of light, which correspond to different colors. The visible spectrum of light, ranging from red to violet, is what we see as a rainbow. Thus, the EM waves involved in the formation of rainbows primarily include visible light waves.
What does the e stand for in EM waves?
EM waves stand for Electromagnetic waves.
Which EM waves have the longest wavelenghts?
Radio waves
