I'll tell you the wave spectrum, you'll have to figure out the answer because I'm not exactly sure which you are looking for. The order is Longest wave length to shortest.

m = meters

Radio wave (AM. TV. FM. Cell.) 1x105m - 1x10-1m

Microwave 1x10-1m - 1x10-3m

Infrared 1x10-3m - 1x10-6 about

Visible Light between 10-6 m - 10-7 m

Ultraviolet 10-7m - 10-9m

X-ray 10-9m - 10-9m

Gamma Ray 10-9m and on and on

Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths just longer than light is?

Infra-red radiation has a wavelength adjacent to but longer than visible light.


What is the relationship between the energy and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation?

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. The higher the frequency, the shorter (lower) the wavelength. Energy is proportional to frequency, and higher frequency waves will have a higher energy. Mathematically, frequency = 1 divided by wavelength, or f = 1/λ Use the link below for more information, including a diagram or two to make things clearer.


What is the Energy that travels across distances in the form of electromagnetic waves?

Energy transfered in the form of electromagnetic waves is classified according to wavelength of the radiation. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation.


What is important about the peak wavelength of a thermal radiation spectrum?

The peak wavelength, is connected to the temperature of the objects. we have short peak wavelength when the temperature is high.


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

Which form of radiation has the longest wavelength between infrared and visible?

Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light.


What is long wavelength radiation given out by stars?

Long wavelength radiation given out by stars is typically in the form of infrared radiation. This type of radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light and is emitted by stars as a product of their high temperatures. It is important for studying the properties and evolution of stars.


Why does the Earth emit longer wave radiation than the Sun?

The Earth emits longer wavelength infrared radiation because it absorbs sunlight and re-radiates it as heat. The Sun, on the other hand, emits shorter wavelength radiation in the form of visible light because it is much hotter than the Earth.


Does heat have shorter or longer wavelength than light?

Heat does not have a specific wavelength because it is a form of energy transfer rather than a specific type of electromagnetic radiation like light. Heat is typically associated with infrared radiation, which has longer wavelengths than visible light.


What has a wavelength longer then the wavelengths of visible ight?

Infrared radiation.


Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?

The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays


What type of electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength next to but longer than visible light?

Infrared radiation.


How does the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation change as its frequency decreases?

As the frequency of electromagnetic radiation decreases, its wavelength increases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in electromagnetic waves, as defined by the equation speed = frequency x wavelength. A lower frequency corresponds to a longer wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.


What has a longer wave length a infrared radiation or red light?

Infrared radiation has a lower frequency and longer wavelength than red light. Note that "infra" means "below" in this case referring to the lower frequency.


What type of electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength next to but is longer than visible light?

Infrared is longer.


Which property spells the difference between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet radiation means:ultraviolet: radiation lying in the ultraviolet range; wave lengths shorter than light but longer than X rays. Infrared radiation means: electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves.
