What type of proportion are wavelength and frequency in the wavelength frequency equation?
They are inversely related
Which type of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength that is about 10m to 1000m long?
The type of electromagnetic radiation includes the wavelength of 10 up to the -7 m is visible light. The wavelike properties of electrons are useful in determining the velocity and position of a particle.
Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?
The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.
Where is infrared waves type of radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?
Immediately adjacent to the band of visible light, on the end with highest frequency / shortest wavelength.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.

What type of proportion are wavelength and frequency in the wavelength frequency equation?
They are inversely related
What type of radiation causes sun burn?
UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more energy.
If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave decreases what will the wavelength do?
It will become longer, and it will carry less energy, its also likely, that if the change or loss in frequency is enough, the radiation will become a different type of electromagnetic radiation in the spectrum like gamma to x-rays or visible light to infrared and so on.
Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?
The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.
What type of frequency and wavelength does radio waves have?
One convenient working definition of 'radio' is: Electromagnetic radiation withfrequency up to 300 GHz / wavelength down to 1 millimeter.'Radio' is our name for the lowest frequency / longest wavelength, so there'sno lower limit on frequency, or upper limit on wavelength.
What are radiation units of measure?
The details depend on what type of radiation you are thinking about. Some units that apply to lots of types of radiation include:* Power * Intensity, which is power per unit area * Frequency and wavelength - many types of radiation come in waves.
What characteristic determines the different kinds of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The distinguishing features between one type of electromagnetic radiation and the other are the frequency and the wavelength (the product of both is the speed of the wave - the speed of light).
Where is infrared waves type of radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?
Immediately adjacent to the band of visible light, on the end with highest frequency / shortest wavelength.
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the greatest frequency and lowest wavelength?
What we currently observe as gamma radiation from nuclear events in stars is something like 10 to 100 exahertz. That's about the upper frequency limit of the electromagnetic radiation we know of, and it will have the shortest wavelength (something at or under 30 nano millimeters). It isn't a stretch to imagine frequencies higher than that, but what is it that can generate electromagnetic oscillations in that range?
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
