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.
How the speed of visible light compare with gamma rays when both speeds are measured in a vacuum?
Visible light and gamma rays are different parts of the full spectrum of light. Since they are really both just light, they travel at the same speed, the speed of light. 186,000 miles per second.
What country has the second longest coastline?
Canada has the longest coastline. The second longest is next to impossible to measure.
Will the wavelength of light from a second order spectrum be more accurate than the first order spectrum?
lines fainter in second orderand the lines are further apart :)
What type of electromagnetic wave has a lower frequency than microwaves?
No. Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. The only difference between them is their respective frequencies (wavelengths). Both travel at the speed that we call the "speed of light" . . . 300,000,000 meters (186,282 miles) per second.
The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of?
Electromagnetic spectrum is made up of wide range of frequencies which range from few Hertz (cycles per second) to several TeraHertz. In most books, electromagnetic spectrum is marked with help of wavelengths. Wavelength is measured by speed of light divided by the frequency.
What on the general electromagnetic spectrum has the second largest wavelength?
Microwaves
How fast do electromagnetic travel?
Every wave in the electromagnetic spectrum travels at 2.99792x108 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)
How is frequency defined in electromagnetic energy?
in electromagnetic spectrum, the number of waves that pass a certain point in one second is the wave's what
What is the second longest wavelength in the absorption spectrum of hydrogen?
97.26 nm
All electromagnetic waves travel at speeds of?
All waves in the electromagnetic spectrum travel at 3x108 ms-1 or 300000000 metres every second.

Is a sound wave part of a electromagnetic spectrum?
No, a sound wave is not electromagnetic, it is a pressure wave in the air. The speed of propagation is about 1100 ft/second, so 1 mile in 5 seconds.
What color of the spectrum has the second shortest wavelength?
According to (longest wavelength) ROYGBIV (shortest wavelength), it would be "indigo."
Which of theses two beams is most likely in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum?
I'll say the second one is. (The one on the right.)
Are sound waves part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different. Sound is composed of density waves in the air or some other form of matter. Sound is a mechanical compression-rarefaction wave. The different types of electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
