An X-ray is a high frequency (high energy) electromagnetic wave. It is much higher in frequency than any broadcast wave. The only electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than the X-ray is the gamma ray.

What wave have a lower frequency TV or infrared?

TV has a lower frequency then infrared.


The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is?

The difference between a radio wave and a x-ray is the fact that x-rays have a much higher frequency. Since higher frequency means more energy in electromagnetic waves, x-rays can be used for purposes such as taking photos of things inside the body. Radio waves are at a lower frequency and have a much longer wavelength. They are used in radio, television, and communication.


Does a high- frequency wave have short wavelength?

Yes, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Gamma waves have the shortest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic radiation waves and carry the greatest energy. Radio and TV waves have the longest wavelengths and carry the least energy.


What type of electromagnetic wave is used for television?

Television signals primarily rely on electromagnetic waves within the radio frequency range, specifically UHF (Ultra High Frequency) and VHF (Very High Frequency) bands. These waves are used to transmit audio and video information to TV antennas for reception by television sets.


What is the relationship between the frequency of a wave and the amount of enery transferred by the wave?

Potentially the two have an inverse relationship--a lower-frequency wave will carry more energy because it's larger. But it doesn't have to be that way; the waves of a satellite TV transmitter that's throwing a couple thousand watts at 6500MHz are going to transfer far more energy than the waves of Joe Trucker and his 4-watt 27MHz CB radio.


What is one example of a low frequency wave?

One example of a low frequency wave is a radio wave, which has a frequency range typically between 30 Hz and 300 GHz. These waves are used for broadcasting radio and television signals, as well as for wireless communication.


What are two main bands of television wave frequencies?

Amplitude and frequency


Which has a higher frequency infrared or TV?

Infrared radiation is much higher frequency (300 GHz to 430 THz) than the VHF and UHF bands (30 MHz to 3 GHz) frequencies used by broadcast TV.


How is a carrier wave produced?

A carrier wave is produced by an electronic oscillator that generates a steady waveform at a specific frequency. This waveform serves as the base signal on which information is modulated for transmission in communication systems like radio and television. The carrier wave's frequency determines the bandwidth and reception quality of the transmitted signal.


How does a television signal differ from a standard radio wave?

it operates at a much higher diffrence


What are the two main bands of television wave frequencies?

The two main bands of television wave frequencies are Very High Frequency (VHF), which typically ranges from 47 to 230 MHz, and Ultra High Frequency (UHF), which typically ranges from 470 to 806 MHz. VHF is commonly used for channels 2-13, while UHF is used for channels 14-83 in the United States.


Consider photons emitted from an ultraviolet lamp and a TV transmitter. Which is the greater wavelength Which is the greater momentum?

Good luck, Greater wavelength=TV. frequency= the number of wave cycles(peak, trough, peak) per time unit. The higher the frequency, the more times the wave cycles, and the shorter the wavelength. Greater Energy=Ultraviolet lamp. By Placks constant, E(energy) =h(planck's constant which is the energy of a photon divided by it's frequency) / f(the frequency of that photon). Planck's constant is almost irrelevant, so the greater the frequency, the greater the energy. Greater frequency=Ultraviolet lamp. Planck's constant and light spectrum. Greater Momentum= Ultraviolet lamp. Electron diffraction, Wavelength=h(planck's constant) / momentum. rearrange it as M=h/W. The greater the wavelength, the smaller the momentum, and visa versa.
