a sound waves wavelength compares to a cell by comparing the waves one by the other. cells compared to wavelength are electromagnetic waves lol:)
The longest waves used regularly for communications are the VLF radio waves with a wavelength up to 30 kilometers.
Electromagnetic waves, just like light, but with different frequency and wavelength.
for wavelength, the longer of the two is visible light, but the longest type of rays are radio waves (some of them have a wavelength as long as a football field)
All types of waves vibrate as they transport energy without transporting matter. Examples include light waves, sound waves, and water waves. The vibration of the waves determines their frequency and wavelength.
Waves of extremely short wavelength produced as a result of transitions of electrons in an atom.
Light waves - as long as they are between roughly 350 to 750 nanometers in wavelength.
Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves are composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space. The wavelength of light determines its color, and the frequency determines its energy.
microwaves, and the longer ones are radio waves. but microwaves cover the large majorit of that span.
You need to have a good understanding that if the signal is wiggling slower,then it can travel farther during each wiggle.Now we can proceed to calculate the wavelengths. If the answer is truly unknownto you, then we won't even bother trying to drag you through the proportions.We'll just calculate each wavelength, and then compare them:Wavelength = (speed of light) divided by (frequency.We'll assume that we're talking about radio waves, just so we have a speedto work with. The result will be similar for any kind of wave.At 56 Hz, wavelength = (3 x 108) / (56) = 5,357,000 meters (about 3,329 miles)(rounded)At 2 MHz, wavelength = (3 x 108) / (2 x 106) = 150 metersYes, the wavelength at 56 Hz is longer than the wavelength at 2 MHz.
100 meters and longer would be 3mhz and lower. Divide the speed of light ( C=3.0*10^8 meters per second) by the wavelength. You get frequency.
Cell phones are small radios, that both transmit and receive. When they transmit they emit radio waves, which is a kind of radiation.
The symbol for wavelength is the lower case Greek letter lambda - which looks like an upside-down y. The unit of measurement depends on the kind of wave: electromagnetic waves, for example, have wavelengths ranging from 10^-11 metres (10 picometres) to 1 kilometre. Other waves can have even longer wavelengths.
