The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is a measure of the frequency; multiply the frequency times the wavelength, and the answer is ALWAYS the "Speed of Light", which we abbreviate as "c".

All of these are different "bands" of electromagnetic energy.

Radio is the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. "Low Frequency" is the lowest, followed by "high frequency", "very high frequency" or VHF, "ultra-high frequency" or UHF.

Beyond that are microwaves, and then heat, then "infrared", and then visible light.

Higher frequency (and shorter wavelengths) than light are "ultra-violet", then X-rays, and then "gamma rays".

What is the entire range of energy waves that exist in the universe?

This might be a description of spectrum analysis. In spectrum analysis, we look at a range of radiated electromagnetic energy, and arrange it by frequency. By looking at what is there (and what is not), we can derive a "fingerprint" of sorts that can be compared to known spectral displays. We can thus discover what is generating the given spectrum we are analyzing. This usually applies to visible light and frequencies close to that range of energies. In the world of radio, by applying spectrum analysis in given situations, we can discover where radiated energy from a source is "going" in the spectrum. For instance, a satellite launched by an "unfriendly" nation might be transmitting data across a range of frequencies using spread spectrum technology. By pointing a big antenna at it and looking at the range of emissions, we can see all the things it is transmitting across that range of frequencies. Then we can consider how the signals are being transmitted, and if they are in digital form, we turn on the big supercomputers and see if we can crunch the data to make it into something that makes sense.


What rays will penetrate easily to the earth when the ozone layer is depleted?

Most forms of electromagnetic energy penetrate the Earth's atmosphere quite easily. There's a band in the ultraviolet range (UV), which is light with a shorter wavelength than visible light, which is somewhat attenuated by the ozone layer high in the atmosphere. Ozone, or O3, forms in the presence of oxygen in sunlight. Here on the surface of the Earth, we call ozone "smog", and it is the bitter "electrical" taste in the air. Some varieties of chloro-fluorocarbon chemicals (such as "freon", the most common cooling agent used in refrigerators and air conditioners) will react with ozone high in the atmosphere and break it down into normal oxygen molecules. But the UV light interacts with oxygen to form more ozone, so it's a balance.


Why steam is sometimes visible as in winter?

Its not, steam and water vapor, both gaseous forms of water, are invisible. Water on earth's surface, below it's surface, or in its atmosphere is only visible in the form of liquid or ice. Its possible that under pressure conditions elsewhere in the universe that gaseous water could be visible.


How would a geologist identify an igneos rock as extrusive or intrusive?

You can look at the rock texture.If the crystals are Large enough to be visible with your naked eye without stressing it the the texture is likely to be either medium coarse grained or course grained which is an indication that it is Intrusive.The opposite is forExtrusive


What do understand by vibgyor?

Vibgyor is the spectrum forms when white light splits. Since different colors have different range of energies and wavelength therefore.when white light splits through prism vibgyor spectrum is obtain but As we take a hollow prism spectrum isn't form 'cos in this condition angle of reflection and emergence inclined.in same plane
