Are sound waves all the same size?
Do you mean the wavelength? Sound of higher frequencies has a shorter wavelength.
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
Are green wavelengths longer than orange wavelengths?
Sound waves are much longer then light waves.
Electromagnetic wave has a shorter wavelength than visible light waves?
Ultraviolet and up have shorter wavelengths.
What waves has a shorter wavelength than visible light waves?
UV, x-rays, gamma rays.
How are light and sound wave alike?
Light and sound waves are found on the same spectrum. Both are types of waves, but light having a shorter wave length and a higher frequency, we can see light. Sound having a shorter wavelength means that we cannot see it with the naked eye
Is ultraviolet radiation longest wavelength?
Wavelength of UV is shorter than that of visible light, in any case. UV is has a very short wavelength the longest wavelength light wave are radio waves.
What are two main categories for waves?
wavelength, amplitude or maybe you meant sound and light (waves?)
What is the energy of electromagnetic waves such as light?
Energy varies with the wavelength. The shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. Ultraviolet much more energetic than red light.
What kind of light has a wavelength shorter than green light is it red light raido waves X-rays or infrared waves?
In th visible spectrum blue and violet light are shorter than green. x-rays are way shorter than green.
What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?
Infrared rays have a shorter wavelength than microwaves and radio waves. All are examples of electromagnetic radiation.
What wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?
Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.
