What is the difference among radio waves microwaves and other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.?
Their wavelength (or frequency), the energy carried by each photon, and the names we give them. Their speeds are all the same.
Does 220-Hertz or 440-Hertz move faster?
220 hertz is faster, because the higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength. The wavelength directly correlates to the speed so therefore the object moving at 220 hertz is significantly faster. Not quite. The question is not about moving objects but wave speeds. The formula is velocity = frequency x wavelength, but for any given wave motion through a given medium, its velocity stays constant. Therefore the wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency alone. So a 220Hz signal travels at the same speed as the 440Hz signal, in the same medium.
How does the speed of a radio compare to the speed of visible light?
Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.
What happens to an object as its kinetic energy increase?
It speeds up.
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.
Cant the frequency of 2 waves with different wave lengths be equal?
Only if their speeds are different.(Wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) = speed of the waveIf the speeds are the same, then different wavelength means different frequency.
What is the wavelength if the frequency of sound equals 880 Hz?
That would also depend on the speed. Note that sound can go at quite different speeds, depending on the medium and the temperature. Use the formula speed (of sound) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for wavelength: wavelength = speed / frequency. If the speed is in meters / second, and the frequency in Hertz, then the wavelength will be in meters.
What is the frequency of a wave if its wavelength is 5 m?
That depends, what wave you are talking about. The general relationship is: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for frequency: frequency = speed / wavelength If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, the speed is about 300,000,000 meters/second. Other waves, however, can have quite different speeds.
Is a string vibrating at the fundamental frequency the length of half the wavelength?
This question can't be answered as asked. A string vibrating at its fundamental frequency has nothing to do with the speed of the produced sound through air, or any other medium. Different mediums transmit sound at different speeds. The formula for wavelength is L = S/F, were L is the wavelength, S is the speed through the medium and F is the frequency. Therefore, the wavelength depends on the speed of sound through the medium and directly proportional to the speed and inversely proportional to the frequency.
What happens to the speeds of a wave when it reflects?
It should normally not change.

How are speeds of electromagnetic radiation frequency and wave length related?
The speed of electromagnetic radiation (light) in a vacuum is a constant, independent of frequency or wavelength. However in a medium (e.g. glass, water, air, diamond) it is no longer a constant, allowing the colors to be separated into a spectrum.
What is the wavelength of a sound whose frequency is 50 Hz?
It depends on the speed of sound considered for the situation, as sound can travel at different speeds depending on the temperature of the air, its density, composition, etc. For all types of waves (sound waves included), the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave, divided by its frequency. So, if you consider the speed of sound to be 330 m/s, the wavelength in question would be equal to 330/50, or 6.6 meters. If you consider the speed to be 340 m/s, the wavelength would be 6.8 meters.
What happens to the ECG when your heart speeds up?
An ECG stands for an electrocardiogram, a reading of the rhythm of your heart. What happens to the ECG when your heart speeds up is that the reading will change.
