longest wavelength/lowest frequency ... in the region we call 'radio'.

Which type of radiation in the electronmagnetic spectrum is the least energetic?
The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum. The least energetic type of radiation may be found in what is known as "extremely low frequency" radiation (ELF). This is radiation with a frequency in the range 3-30 Hertz. ELF radiation can penetrate seawater and so is particularly useful for communicating with submarines.
What ype of radiation ionzing is less penetrating?
1. Alpha Particles are the least penetrating, but do a great deal of radiation damage on the surface of what they hit.2. Beta Particles penetrate to a certain extent depending on their energy.3. Gamma Rays penetrate the most, and a Gamma source requires heavy (lead, etc.) shielding.
What is Alpha radiation stopped by?
Alpha particles are the strongest of the three known types of radiation (alpha, beta, & gamma). Although the strongest, the alpha particles are the least penetrating.They do not tend to penetrate any substance.A well-known example is your skin. Alpha particles do not penetrate your skin barrier. However, alpha particles energy is high and is a cause of skin cancer and genetic mutations.
What electromagnetic radiation is the least energetic?
Perhaps you mean one of these, I can't tell:Alpha particle radiation: least penetrating ionizing radiation, 100% shielding provided by one sheet of paper.ELF radio: lowest energy radio waves (~0.01Hz), travels long distances and through water. U.S. Navy experimented with it for communicating with Submarines.Red light: Lowest frequency of visible light.Violet light: Shortest wavelength of visible light.Very High Energy Gamma radiation: Shortest wavelength of any known radiation.Anyway, least in what way?
Which wave is the least danguous?
What waves are used to penetrate solids and are used in doctors offices
What radiation type has the greatest ability to penetrate human tissue?
Gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is the least penetrating, beta radiation penetrates and lasts longer than alpha but also "dies out" relatively quickly, but Gamma radiation will not only penetrate deep, but it will also stay long.

Is alpha a radiation ray?
No, it's a particle. Often written a it is the least penetrating radiation not able to penetrate a pice of paper. Consists of a helium nucleus superscript 4 over sub script 2 He

What type of radiation is the least ionizing?
Alpha radiation.
What do astronomers speculate makes up at least 90 percent of matter in the universe?
Cold dark matter. It can't be seen or detected by its radiation. Some say that ranks it with Bigfoot and the Tooth Fairy!
What type of ionized radiation is the least penetrating?
Alpha radiation.
Where would you find the least number of chloroplasts in a plant?
In the roots where no light can penetrate.
What is the Pokemon with the least HP?
The Pokemon with the lowest HP is Shedinga. The base HP for this guy is 1, and stays that way no matter what unless you hack. It at least has the ability Wonder Guard to make up for this.
