What on the general electromagnetic spectrum has the second largest wavelength?
Microwaves
Where on the spectrum is a radio wave?
A radio wave is the longest form of electromagnetic radiation, so it is just before microwaves, with nothing after it.
Are microwaves made out of rocks?
NO: Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation occupying the spectrum between radio and infra-red.
Are microwaves longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are therefore transverse waves.
How are micro waves produced?
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with a frequency of about 2.45 GHz and a wavelength of about 12.2 cm; in the electromagnetic spectrum, they fall before infrared light but after radio waves (Heckert 2007). In a microwave oven, microwaves are produced by a device called a magnetron.-Google
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.
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.
Which has higher frequency microwaves or tv waves?
In the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves, microwaves and radiowaves (microwaves are sometimes classified under radio waves), have the longest wavelengths, and the lowest frequencies (and therefore, energy).
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.
The range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order is called the?
Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,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).
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
Microwaves and, on the other side, ultra low frequency waves.
