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 If has been replaced by terms such as HF (High frequency) VHF (very high frequency) UHF (ultra high frequency) and so forth.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.

Which carries more energy a wave with short wavelenght or a wave with long wavelenght?
Short Wave length
What is the shortest wavelenght radiation from the sun?
shorter than short
What is the wavelenght of red light?
it is short wavelength
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.
How does the light behave on each object?
light consist of many wavelenght and different wavelenght will be absorb by different object leaving certain wavelenght to escape and thus the colour of the object is shown
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
Which colour has the highest wavelenght?
Red.
What is the wavelenght of a wave related to?
distance
Which color has the longest wavelenght?
Red.
What is angstorm?
angstorm is a unit of wavelenght
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
What is the unit of wavelenght?
"meter" in si unit
