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 radiation has the smallest frequency?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency, Gamma rays have the smallest wave-length.
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?
How many cycles per second are in a meter?
The question is effectively meaningless as stated. You can't convert a frequency to a length without also knowing the speed of propagation. If, for example, you're talking about electromagnetic radiation, the frequency of a 1m wave is 300KHz.
What decreases as the frequency of the radiation increases?
I would say the most obvious is the length of the constituent waves.
Will electromagnetic radiation with a longer wave length travel through space slower than one with a shorter wave length?
The speed of electromagnetic radiation stays constant at a speed of 299,792,458 metres per second.
What is eletromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. (frequency = wave oscillations per second) Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories: Radiowave Microwave Infrared Visible (light) Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Rays [This list is in increasing order of frequency)
What is the relationship between and EM wave's wavelength and its location on the EM spectrum?
The EM spectrum is a chart of electromagnetic radiation, arranged by wave length. The chart may be arranged in ascending or descending order.Related Information:The charts could begin with radio waves, having the longest wavelength, and end with gamma rays, having the shortest wavelength or the order could be reversed.
Is light the same as electromagnetic radiation?
Yes, it is. Electromagnetic (EM) waves have frequency and amplitude (as well as polarity and a couple of other things), and because it has frequency, it can be distributed across a range of frequencies, or a spectrum - an electromagnetic spectrum. Light is a range of frequencies in what we call the optical or visible range. It is bounded on the lower end (lower frequency, lower energy, longer wavelength) by infrared (IR) light, and on the upper end (higher frequency, higher energy, shorter wavelength) by ultraviolet (UV) light.Yes. Light is also called a "electromagnetic wave"
What is the connection between the wave length and the frequency of electromagnetic waves?
The wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves are inversely related. This means that as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the equation: speed of light = frequency x wavelength.
Componet of electromagnetic waves that varis?
There frequency is inversely proportional to there wave length. There energy level go on reducing as there frequency decreases.
What happens as the frequency of photons increases?
For electromagnetic radiation,c = speed of light = 3.0 x 108 m/s = frequency x wavelengthAs the frequency of light waves increase, the wavelength decreases. For electromagnetic radiation, the wavelength times the frequency equals the speed of light, c, which is 3.0 x 108 m/s. So, if the frequency increases, the wavelength will decrease, and if the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases.
