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 are the waves from the sun called?
The energy radiated from the sun is in the form of electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic waves. The waves are noticed on Earth as visible light, as ultra-violet (light that is at a higher frequency than we can see) and infra-red (light that is at a lower frequency than we can see). Although the radiation is far more than just the range of visible light, we normally refer to the radiation as "sunlight"
A method of sending energy waves from a satellite to an area of earth being observed is?
radar;radar means :the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves.
What is the role of radar in ATC?
Radar system sends out radio waves to detect moving objects in the air. When the echo comes back, time is measured and distance is calculated. This process continues.
After the earth absorbs visible light from the sun the earth re-emits mainly what type of electromagnetic waves?
After the earth absorbs the visible light from the sun the earth re-emits the infrared emissions as the type of the electromagnetic waves.
How do radio telescope different from optical telescope?
Radio telescopes collect radio waves. Optical telescopes capture visible light waves.
What amplitude and frequency does a radar waves have?
Frequency is above 1 GHz or so for radar. General amplitude of waves put out by a radar gun is what I was trying to find when I stumbled across this. I imagine its in the mV or lower range though
Do light waves move at a lower or higher frequency than visible light?
they are a high frequency
Do x-rays have lighter or lower frequency than light waves?
X-ray has a higher frequency than visible light.
Do ultraviolet waves have a high or low frequency?
That depends what you call "high" or "low". The frequency of ultraviolet waves is higher than that of visible light; lower than that of x-rays.
Where is infrared waves type of radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?
Immediately adjacent to the band of visible light, on the end with highest frequency / shortest wavelength.
Why are x- rays more penetrating than visible light waves?
Higher frequency photons have more energy than lower frequency photons.
Is the ultraviolet radiation from the sun higher or lower in frequency than radar waves?
Using an Electromagnetic Spectrum diagram, UV radiation has a frequency range around 1016 Hz. This is higher than the listed frequency ranges used for radar, which are under 1010 Hz.
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.
A wave with a frequency that is lower than red?
Red waves have the lowest frequency of all light waves; there is no wave with a lower frequency.
Which colour has the minimum frequency?
Of the colors of visible light, that would be red. Note that there are electromagnetic waves with an even lower frequency - for example, infrared - but those are not visible to human eyes.
Light waves move at a higher frequency than?
Visible light has higher frequency than that of infra red radiations. The order of electro magnetic waves in the increasing order of frequency are as follows: Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, ROY G BIV (visible region), ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma ray.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
