What represents the different form of electromagnetic radiation?

In order from longest wavelength and lowest frequency to shortest wavelength and highest frequency, they are radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, UV (ultraviolet) rays, X-rays, and gamma rays.Our Chemistry and Physics teacher taught us with a mnemonic device:Real Men In Violet Underwear are eXtremely Gorgeouswith each bold letter standing for the energies in order, according to the electromagnetic spectrum.


Chemistry What is a gamma?

A gamma ray represents a high energy photon. It is a biologically hazardous burst of electromagnetic radiation. The French chemist Paul Villard was the person that first discovered the gamma ray in 1900.


What is the x in X-ray?

X Radiation is a form of Electromagnetic Radiation with a wavelength 0.01 to 10 nanometers. The letter X was selected because it signifies an unknown type of radiation


How do electromagnetic radiations differ?

Electromagnetic radiation is concerned with the movement of photons (individual, discrete 'packets' of light energy.) The frequency of electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to its energy and inversely proportional to it's wavelength. Thus, a higher frequency will mean that the photons have a shorter wavelength and have more energy.Different frequencies, and therefore energies, of electromagnetic radiation will give it different properties. Because of this, the frequencies of electromagnetic radiation are divided into a spectrum based on the different properties of electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies. This spectrum goes from radio waves at the very low end to gamma rays at the other end.See the link at the bottom for a diagram of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.However, in the below image the word 'heat' is wrong. Between Infra-red and Radio waves are microwaves.Nuclear radiation is normally concerned with any form of radiation emitted as a result of radioactive decay, in which a large, unstable nucleus of an atom breaks down to form a more stable one.There are three types of nuclear radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha decay is when an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle which is composed of two protons and two neutrons; i.e. it is effectively a helium nucleus. Beta decay is when an unstable nucleus emits a beta particle (an electron), and gamma emission is when an unstable nucleus emits high energy electromagnetic radiation called gamma rays.


Does the energy increase as the frequency of the radiation decreases?

Does the energy of a photon increase as the frequency decreases ? No.In fact it is just the opposite : energy increases as the frequency increases.The relation is very simple; it's just e=hv wheree is the energy of the photonh is Planck's constantv is the frequency of the radiation.( v should be the Greek letter nu, but this keyboard won't do it ! )


How is energy related to frequency?

Frequency has a great relationship with energy. The higher the amount of energy the higher the frequency will be for example.


What is the energy of an electromagnetic wave with the frequency of 3 x 109 Hz?

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is given by the equation E = hf, where h is Planck's constant (6.63 x 10^-34 J.s) and f is the frequency of the wave. Plugging in the values, the energy of a wave with a frequency of 3 x 10^9 Hz is approximately 1.99 x 10^-24 J.

The letter C represents 100


Do you have a wavelength?

Yes, there are.If youre talking about electromagnetic radiation, they have the same speed 3*108They vary in wavelength (greek letter lambda) and frequency to maintain this asspeed of light= wavelength * frequencyYou'll find this in an Electromagnetic spectrum.There are other mechanical waves like sound and physical waves whose wavelengths also vary.Believe it or not, I'm a 14- year old science genius answering this question. If u have any more mail me @ Deedy_Dash007@yahoo.com;-)


Does frequency determine where a light wave appears on the electromagnetic spectrum?

Yes, the frequency of a light wave determines where it appears on the electromagnetic spectrum. Light waves with higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths and appear towards the blue end of the spectrum, while light waves with lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths and appear towards the red end of the spectrum.


What is a letter that represents a number?

A letter that represents a number is called a variable.


How energy related to frequency?

E=hv where v is suppose to be the greek letter (nu) which stands for frequency. h is planks constant. E is energy.
