Generally the term "short wavelength" is used to describe light but it can be used for any wave. It means the distance between one wave front and another is only short. Given that, you might get the idea that "short wavelength" is a relative term. In radio, the term short wavelength is almost obsolete. If has been replaced by terms such as HF (High frequency) VHF (very high frequency) UHF (ultra high frequency) and so forth. The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. After radio waves, electromagnetic waves go to infrared, visible light, xrays then gamma rays as the wavelength gets shorter.
What else can I help you with?
Are gamma rays short than x rays?
Shorter wavelenght? If so, yes, but where one ends and the other starts is not a distinct point.
Which carries more energy a wave with short wavelenght or a wave with long wavelenght?
A wave with a shorter wavelength carries more energy than a wave with a longer wavelength. This is because shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies, which means they have more oscillations per unit time, resulting in more energy being transferred by the wave.
What is the wavelenght of red light?
The wavelength of red light is typically between 620 to 750 nanometers. wavelengths.
Is microwave harmful to human body?
The Wavelenght of microwaves is between 1m to 1mm, the visible light has a wavelength of ca 350nm-750nm. A Short wavelenght means a high frequency and fequency indicates a high energylevel. Therefore Micorwaves have a verylow energy, comparet with the normal light. So: It is harmless! Neramo
What is the wavelenght of a wave related to?

What are wavelenghts?
wavelenght is the distance between the 2 peaks in sound waves and can be calculated by Wavelenght is = wave speed/ frequency or wave speed __________ frequency
