Does Gamma Rays have higher frequency than Light?
yup, much higher. roughly 1000 times higher.
What is the most enegetic electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation, or light, is a form of energy. Light travels in waves at a constant speed, and so it always has a wavelenghth and a corresponding frequency. As the wavelength gets shorter, the frequency increases. As the frequency increases, the amount of energy carried per photon increases. Another word for frequency, when talking about light, is color. The visible frequencies of light range from red to violet, with red having the lowest frequency/largest wavelength and violet having the highest frequency/shortest wavelength. There are many times more frequencies of light that cannot be seen than can. Going more energetic from violet, you have ultraviolet (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays. Gamma rays are every color of light higher than a certain frequency, and so you could theoretically have a color of light with infinite energy in one photon, and it would still be a gamma ray.
Consider photons emitted from an ultraviolet lamp and a TV transmitter. Which is the greater wavelength Which is the greater momentum?
Good luck, Greater wavelength=TV. frequency= the number of wave cycles(peak, trough, peak) per time unit. The higher the frequency, the more times the wave cycles, and the shorter the wavelength. Greater Energy=Ultraviolet lamp. By Placks constant, E(energy) =h(planck's constant which is the energy of a photon divided by it's frequency) / f(the frequency of that photon). Planck's constant is almost irrelevant, so the greater the frequency, the greater the energy. Greater frequency=Ultraviolet lamp. Planck's constant and light spectrum. Greater Momentum= Ultraviolet lamp. Electron diffraction, Wavelength=h(planck's constant) / momentum. rearrange it as M=h/W. The greater the wavelength, the smaller the momentum, and visa versa.
How does the frequency of a gamma wave change as the wavelength decreases?
For any electromagnetic wave, from the highest gamma wave to the lowest radiowave, the product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the 'speed of light'in whatever substance the waves happen to be waving along at the moment.So if the wavelength of any of them should decrease, for whatever reason, itsfrequency would have to increase, in order to keep the product constant.
How many times is the gamma star bigger than the sun?
the gamma star is about 4000 times bigger than the sun
Which has the greater frequency a 300 nm photon or a 500 nm photon?
frequency = 1/s c = m/s lambda = m (wavelength) c/lambda m/s/m= frequency 1/s 300,000E9mm/s / 300nm > 300,000E9nm/s / 500nm So no, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. This is why very small waves such as gamma waves are very dangerous; they have a very high frequency compared to feet long waves such as Radio waves.
The number of times a data occurs?
the answer is frequency. the answer is frequency.
What are 3 forms of Electromagnetic Radiation with a wavelength less than visible light?
The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is a measure of the frequency; multiply the frequency times the wavelength, and the answer is ALWAYS the "Speed of Light", which we abbreviate as "c". All of these are different "bands" of electromagnetic energy. Radio is the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. "Low Frequency" is the lowest, followed by "high frequency", "very high frequency" or VHF, "ultra-high frequency" or UHF. Beyond that are microwaves, and then heat, then "infrared", and then visible light. Higher frequency (and shorter wavelengths) than light are "ultra-violet", then X-rays, and then "gamma rays".
Circumference is how many times greater than radius?
2 pi times greater-- roughly 6.28 times greater.
How do you work out frequency from a frequecny density histogram?
class width times frequency density gives you the frequency
A high frequency sound will be heard as?
If the high frequency sound is within hearing range, you can hear it as a high-pitched sound. If it's out of the hearing range you can't hear it, of course.
How are wavelenghth and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?
For any wave, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of propagation).For electromagnetic waves, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of 'light')
