There is a system of formal designation of the region of the electromagnetic
spectrum that we know how to generate and modulate for communication.
The naming system differentiates among arbitrary sections of "radio" based
on slices of decades (10 times) of frequency and wavelength. You'll recognize
some of the abbreviations, like VHF and UHF:
Very Low Frequency (VLF)
3 - 30 KHz
100,000 - 10,000 meters
Low Frequency (LF)
30 - 300 KHz
10,000 - 1,000 meters
Medium Frequency (MF)
300 KHz - 3 MHz
1,000 - 100 meters
High Frequency (HF)
3 - 30 MHz
100 - 10 meters
Very High Frequency (VHF)
30 - 300 MHz
10 - 1 meter
Ultra High Frequency (UHF)
300 MHz - 3 GHz
1 meter - 10 cm
Super High Frequency (SHF)
3 - 30 GHz
10 - 1 cm
Extreme High Frequency (EHF)
30 - 300 GHz
1 cm - 1 mm

How are x-rays and earthquake waves similar?
They are both transverse waves, albeit having different wavelength and frequency. I think that velocity of the waves will also be different as x-rays travel at the speed of light.
What is Shadow over heart in xray?
had a chest xray, there was a shadow over my heart what is it
What is the average resonant frequency of an earthquake?
All earthquakes have a different resonant frequency that can range from 10-50Hz. The average frequency would be around 31Hz or equivalent to the low B string on a 5 string bass guitar.
Can arteries show up on xray?
If they are calcified, such as an aorta that has plaque build up. Abdominal aortic aneurysms can sometimes be seen on xray in this situation. However, in general, arteries do not show up on xray.
What waves can travel through solids and liquids?
Electro-magnetic waves of many kinds travel through certain solids and liquids: radio waves (these are waves of relatively low frequency/high wavelength) can travel through almost anything. Microwaves - shorter wavelength, higher frequency - need particular materials to stop them. Gamma rays (a form of radioactivity) can pass through many solids, and need a very thick layer of a dense metal such as LEAD to stop them. Visible light, which is also a form of electro-magnetic radiation - can (obviously) travel through some liquids and solids; those which are to some extent transparent.Sound waves - which are pressure waves - can also travel through solids and liquids.Generally, the answer to the question varies according to which solids and liquids are being considered; and each of these will permit a different range of waves to pass through them.
Which has more energy an infrared or xray photon?
An X-ray photon has more energy than an infrared photon. X-rays have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to infrared radiation, resulting in higher energy levels for X-ray photons.
Explain the effects on frequency wavelength and energy as you move across the spectrum?
As you move from left to right across the electromagnetic spectrum, the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases, and the energy of the electromagnetic waves increases. This means that on the left side, you have low-frequency, long-wavelength, low-energy waves like radio waves, while on the right side, you have high-frequency, short-wavelength, high-energy waves like gamma rays.
What is xray short for?
Energetic High-frequency Electromagnetic Radiation
What will increase the effective energy of the xray beam?
increasing its frequency
Which waves have lower frequency radar waves or visible waves?
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
What is a low frequency wave?
A low frequency wave has a long wavelength and low energy. Some examples include radio waves and infrared waves. These waves are commonly used for communication and heating applications.
How does an ultra sound work?
Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. A transducer sends out sound waves that bounce off tissues and organs, creating echoes that are picked up and translated into images by a computer. These images can help healthcare providers visualize internal structures for diagnostic purposes.
How does frequency apply to periodic waves?
Frequency in periodic waves refers to the number of cycles or oscillations that occur in a unit of time. It is a measure of how often the wave pattern repeats itself. In simple terms, frequency determines how frequently the wave completes one full cycle.
What are electromagnetic waves organized by frequency?
Electromagnetic waves are organized by frequency into a spectrum that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. This organization is based on the frequency and wavelength of the waves, with higher frequencies corresponding to shorter wavelengths and more energy.
The number of complete waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time is a wave's?
This is known as the frequency of the wave.
What are the highest-frequency and and the lowest-frequency parts of the EM system?
The highest frequency electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, which have wavelengths shorter than 10 picometers. The lowest frequency electromagnetic waves are radio waves, which have wavelengths longer than 1 millimeter.
Electromagnetic waves with the highest energy have the?
Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.Electromagnetic waves of higher energy have a higher frequency and a smaller wavelength.
