Which kind of waves are the longest Radar waves Radio waves Visible Light or Gamma Rays?
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)
Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
frequency energy wavelength
Why does gamma radiation damage body cells but radio waves do not?
The energy of a electromagnetic wave increases as the wavelength decreases. Radio waves have a very long wavelength compared to gamma rays. Since gamma rays have so much energy, they can change molecules by "kicking out" electrons with their energy. Where as radio waves don't have enough energy to effect many compounds.
Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?
Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the ascending order of the eight electromagnetic spectrum waves base from their wavelength?
Shortest wavelength is gamma rays. Next longer wavelength is with Xrays. Then Ultraviolet, visible radiations, infra red, microwaves, radio waves with shorter wavelength and radio waves with longer wavelength
Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?
Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.
Which has longer wavelength radio v light?
Radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light.

What are the longest wavelength electromagnetic waves called either radio ultraviolet gamma-rays?
Radio
Which has a longer wavelength radio or infrared?
Radio wave.
Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
What has shortest wavelength?
X-rays and Gamma rays. Radio Waves have the longest.
Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
frequency energy wavelength
What has the highest energy and longest wavelength?
Generically speaking, radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the highest energy.
Which waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The longest ones that we have a name for are the ones we call "radio waves". There are a lot of electromagnetic waves longer than that, which we don't even have a name for ... probably because we don't use them for anything much.
If Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves What else is true about radio waves?
If the wavelength is longer, then the frequency is lower and the energy is less.
