Which has the lowest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves radio waves visible light or gamma rays?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency in all of the electromagnetic spectrum. The next higher frequency energy is microwave, visible light including ultraviolet, infrared, X-ray, then gamma ray
What is the color spectrum made of?
The color spectrum is made from all the wavelengths of visible light, with red at the lowest frequency and violet at the highest frequency that can be seen. Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum that also includes radio and microwaves up to X-rays and gamma rays.
What is the meaning of the term electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum is everything from x-rays and microwaves, visible light, non-visible light (ie infra-red and unltra violet).
Do microwaves have the highest frequency?
No. Several other electromagnetic waves - including visible light - have a higher frequency.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is color?
The so called visible spectrum. (from red [low frequency] to violet [high frequency].
Where would you place microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Microwaves would be found below infrared radiation, which is below visible light. They'd be at the top of what is called the radio spectrum.
Can you see microwaves?
Microwaves, defined as electromagnetic waves with wavelengths as long as 10 cm and as short as 0.1 cm, are not in the visible spectrum.
What are the members of electomagnetic spectrum?
From lowest frequency to highest, the electromagnetic spectrum consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. Heat, or thermal radiation, is also a type of electromagnetic wave, but is not limited to any particular frequency range. Televisions and cell phones use electromagnetic waves in the radio-wave region.
The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?
The visible portion of electromagnetic spectrum is called the visible light and is the electromagnetic wave with the wavelength between 380 - 740 nm.
Is the electromagnetic spectrum the same as visible light?
Visible light is PART of the electromagnetic spectrum... ... The Electromagnetic Spectrum encompasses everything from Gamma waves to Radio rays, and visible light sits slap bang in the middle of the two... ... The other radiation types of the electromagnetic spectrum are (from highest to lowest frequency - with their approximate wavelengths) : * Gamma (10-12m) * X-ray (10-10m) * ultravoilet (10-8m) * VISIBLE (0.5x10-6m) * Infra Red (10-5m) * Microwaves (10-2m) * Radio waves (103m)
What characteristics are different between visible light and the portions of the electromagnetic spectrum the are not visible?
Frequency and so wavelength
When is microwaves on an electromagnetic spectrum used in everyday lives?
It is transmitted from everyday objects but is not visible to humans. Microwaves come off our TV sets, cell phones, and all electronic devices. We cannot see microwaves because of their location on the electromagnetic spectrum, but they are always present.
