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.
The color of the light is determined by what of the light waves?
The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. An object that is purley one wavelength (lets say a specific wavelength in the blue part of the spectrum) would be absorbing all visable wavelengths except that specific blue wavelength.
What does a elctromagnetic spectrum do?
Type your answer here...The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.The electromagnetic spectrum extends from low frequencies used for modern radio to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom. The long wavelength limit is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation can be shorter than ultraviolet but longer than gamma rays?
The list of electromagnetic spectrum with an increasing wavelength is given: Gamma rays X rays Ultra violet Visible Infra red Micro waves Radio waves. Now you yourself can pick the needed answer.
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 color has the longest wave lenght?
The longest visible wavelengths are thoseat the red end of the spectrum (rainbow).
How are different kinds of light waves arranged in the EM spectrum?
VIBGYOR Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange and Red They have been arranged with their frequency decreasing or with their wavelengths increasing Violet has the lowest wavelength in visible spectrum. It is about 350 nm and Red has longest wavelength and it is 700 nm
When the wavelength of a spectral line emitted from an object increases which end of the visible light spectrum does not move toward and what is the objects motion relative to earth?
Increasing wavelength is an indication of a Doppler shift caused by an object moving away from the viewer. Longer wavelengths (of the visible spectrum) are redder, shorter wavelengths are bluer. Objects moving away from you have a red shift, objects moving toward you have a blue shift.
The waves with the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum are?
the waves with the longest wavelengths in the electromatic speectrum are radio waves.
What has a visible wavelength?
Light with wavelengths between 3500 and 6500 angstroms: called the visible light spectrum.
What type of wavelength are commonly used to communicate with satellites?
Communication is usually done with wavelengths in the microwave part of the spectrum.
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.
Which wavelength must the light contain and the object reflect to appear white?
Refer to the EM spectrum to find exact answer about this question. Usually wavelengths are listed at bottom and frequency on top of the spectrum. Gamma rays have the smallest wavelength.
The color of the light is determined by what of the light waves?
The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. An object that is purley one wavelength (lets say a specific wavelength in the blue part of the spectrum) would be absorbing all visable wavelengths except that specific blue wavelength.
How does the wavelength of the infared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum differ from that of the visible portion of the spectrum?
I have no clue Laugh out loud
What wavelengths of light are part of the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum?
The wavelength can be just about anything - from kilometers to a tiny fraction of a nanometer.
Wavelengths in this range of light are those that humans can see?
If it is between 390 and 700nm (nano meter) then yes.
