What are the bands of the electromagnnetic spectrum from short to long wavelengths?

The bands of the electromagnetic spectrum from short to long wavelengths are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.


Do ultraviolet rays have short or long wavelengths?

Ultraviolet rays have short wavelengths compared to visible light, ranging from about 10 to 400 nanometers.


Do blue light have a long wavelengths?

No, blue light actually has short wavelengths compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. This short wavelength is why blue light is often associated with effects like glare and eye strain.


What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?

Scattering of light


What bends more light waves with short wavelengths or light waves with long wavelenths?

Light waves with shorter wavelengths bend more compared to light waves with longer wavelengths when passing through a medium due to the phenomenon of dispersion. This is why we see rainbows, where shorter wavelengths (violet/blue) are bent more than longer wavelengths (red) when passing through water droplets.


Does ultraviolet light have long or short wavelengths?

The wavelengths for UV light are shorter than for visible light, but much longer than for x-rays or gamma rays.


Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?

No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.


What travels faster short or long wavelength?

Short wavelengths travel faster than long wavelengths. This is because light travels at a constant speed, and since wavelength is inversely related to frequency (shorter wavelength means higher frequency), shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies and thus travel faster.


What is the opposite of long wavelength?

Short wavelengths.


What is the difference between a long wavelength and a short wavelength?

The difference is that with the longer wavelengths, the lower the frequency and the speed of the waves will be. The smaller the wavelength is, the higher the frequency and the speed will be. Wavelength is measured by the distance between two spectrums (the highest point on the wave) do not copy this answer.write it in your own words or you will learn nothing. also, if you copy, that is plagarism. I hope you enjoy this breif definiton. thank you.


Does the sun give off short or long wavelengths?

The sun gives off a range of wavelengths, including both short and long wavelengths. The majority of the sun's energy is in the form of visible light, which falls in the mid-range of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, the sun also emits shorter wavelength ultraviolet radiation and longer wavelength infrared radiation.


Which wavelength has more energy short or long?

Short wavelengths has more energy. (X-rays Gamma rays belongs to this category.) Long wavelengths has less energy (radio waves and light belongs to this category). I hope this would be enough.
