Which wave in the EM spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Electromagnetic wave is a kind of energy being propagated even through free space (vacuum). It is classified based on the mode of producing it as Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray. Out of these seven, radio waves have the lowest frequency and Gamma ray has the highest frequency. As frequency and wavelength are inversely related, radio wave would have the longest wavelength.
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 is the longest wavelength?
There is no longest wavelength. In the electromagnetic spectrum extremely low frequency waves can have wavelengths of less than 100 megametres (100,000 kilometres or 10^8 metres). Gravitational waves are likely to have much longer wavelengths.
What is the relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of radiant energy?
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.
Photons with the highest energy have the longest period?
False they have the shortest wavelength (period)
Electromagnetic waves of the longest wavelength carry the greatest energy?
No. The energy of an EM wave is E = h*c / (wavelength), therefore waves with the shortest wavelength (or highest frequency) carry the greatest energy.
Photons with lowest energy have the?
-- longest wavelength -- lowest frequency
Which colour has the shortest wavelength?
Shortest wavelength means the highest frequency, meaning the photons have the highest energy. That is color violet. The violet light colors the skin brown. Red light with lower energy photons cannot do that.
True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?
No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.
Is the longest wavelength violet?
No. In the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the waves at the red end have the longest wavelength (lowest frequency), and those at the violet end have the shortest wavelength (highest frequency).
What form of electromagnetic energy have the longest wavelength?
radio waves
Photons with the highest energy have?
highest frequency / shortest wavelength / same speed as all other photons.
A low energy electromagnetic wave would also have?
the lowest frequency Lester was here
Which color of the visible light portion the the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency and the least energy?
The last color you can see at the red end has the lowest frequency,longest wavelength, least energy per photon.The last color you can see at the violet end has the highest frequency,shortest wavelength, most energy per photon.
Which electromagnetic waves have the longest wavelength and highest frequencies?
The longest wavelengths are usually referred to as radio waves, whereas the highest frequencies are referred to as cosmic rays (the opposite end of the spectrum).
