A radiowave is an example of electromagnetic radiation. What most humans call light - what is produced by the sun or a light bulb - is actually called visible light. Visible light is another form of electromagnetic radiation, but with higher energies. Scientists use the word light as a substitue for the whole generalization of every kind of electromagnetic radiation.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency?

The part that we call "Extremely Low Frequency Radio Waves".


Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?

The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.


What is the Lowest frequency on a electromagnetic spectrum?

The lowest frequency is effectively zero and this would be in the extremely low frequency (ELF) band in the sub-radio range of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has a frequency lower than microwaves?

Radio waves have a lower frequency than microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the lowest frequency and longest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic waves.


What em radiation has the lowest frequency?

Radio waves have the lowest frequency among electromagnetic radiations.


What happens to the electromagnetic spectrum as you move from gamma to radio waves?

As you move from gamma rays to radio waves on the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelength gets longer and the frequency decreases. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.
