As you go from left to right across the spectrum what happens to the frequency and energy of the waves?
As you go farther right down the spectrum (radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays), the waves' wavelengths decrease as their frequencies decrease. For example, x-rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than ultraviolet light. Radio waves on the left end have the longest wavelength and shortest frequency, while gamma rays on the right end have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency?
If by greatest frequency you mean highest frequency, we know that the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency. This is the home to the gamma rays. They have the highest frequency, shortest wavelength, and the greatest energy.
What is color absorption?
Absorption spectroscopy refers to spectroscopic techniques that measure the absorption of radiation, as a function of frequency or wavelength, due to its interaction with a sample. The sample absorbs energy, i.e., photons, from the radiating field. The intensity of the absorption varies as a function of frequency, and this variation is the absorption spectrum. Absorption spectroscopy is performed across the electromagnetic spectrum.
White light can be separated into spectrum of colors because each color of light?
Has a different wavelength and energy. At the red end of the spectrum the wavelength is longer and frequency is lower, it will be less easily refracted than light towards the blue end of the spectrum, which is higher in frequency and has a shorter wavelength. The separation of the colours is called dispersion.
How does energy associated with waves change as wavelength changes?
Using this equation will help you understand what is going on: E=hc/wavelength h and c are constants. As wavelength increases, energy decreases. This is why UV radiation (which has a very small wavelength) has more energy than visible radiation, and this is also why UV radiation causes damage to living things
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the most energy?
The waves with higher frequencies have more energy and the gamma rays have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum
How does radiation change across the electromagnetic spectrum?
Radiation changes across the electromagnetic spectrum based on the wavelength and frequency of the electromagnetic waves. As you move from radio waves to gamma rays, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases. This results in higher energy levels and greater potential for ionization as you move towards the gamma ray end of the spectrum.
What 2 properties of EM waves change from one end of the EM spectrum to the other?
Two properties of electromagnetic waves that change across the spectrum are wavelength and frequency. As you move from one end of the spectrum to the other, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases.
Explain the effects on frequency wavelength and energy as you move across the spectrum?
As you move from left to right across the electromagnetic spectrum, the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases, and the energy of the electromagnetic waves increases. This means that on the left side, you have low-frequency, long-wavelength, low-energy waves like radio waves, while on the right side, you have high-frequency, short-wavelength, high-energy waves like gamma rays.
As the wavelength of a wave increases on the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the energy of the wave?
As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.
Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?
The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.
A wave of electromagnetic radiation has more energy if it?
has a higher frequency. Energy is directly proportional to frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What happens as frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases?
It moves along the spectrum. Nothing particularly happens. If the wave is in the audible part of the spectrum the pitch will get higher. If it is in the visable part of the spectrum it will turn from red eventually to blue before it disappears. It will stilll be there you just cant see it anymore.
Does wavelengths that make up the electromagnetic spectrum each have the same amount of energy true?
No, wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum do not each have the same amount of energy. The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency, so shorter wavelengths (higher frequency) have more energy than longer wavelengths (lower frequency).
What is the highest energy on the em spectrum?
Gamma rays have the highest energy on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, carrying the most energy of all electromagnetic waves.
Which wave of the electromagnetic spectrum carries the most energy?
The ones with the highest frequency.
What color of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency and the most energy?
The color violet in the visible light spectrum has the highest frequency and most energy due to its short wavelength, which corresponds to higher energy photons.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency?
If by greatest frequency you mean highest frequency, we know that the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency. This is the home to the gamma rays. They have the highest frequency, shortest wavelength, and the greatest energy.
