Am radio signals are broadcast at frequencies between 550 kHz and 1600 kHz and travel 2.99792 x 108 ms What is the longest AM wavelength?

The longest wavelength in the band corresponds to the lowest frequency.
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (2.99792 x 108) / (550 x 103) = 545.1 meters (rounded)

Waves with the longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies true of false?
Trick question. Wavelength is not directly or indirectly proportional to frequency.
What wave is longer Am radio or TV waves?
In principle, any type of radio service can be carried on in any part of the radio spectrum.But it happens that the commercial AM radio broadcast service is situated quite low in thespectrum ... between 0.55 and 1.7 MHz. As such, it has the longest wavelength that you'relikely to run into.There are certainly services that operate at lower frequencies ... time signals to the so-called"atomic" clocks, submarine communication, legacy navigation systems etc. But of the two choiceslisted in the question, AM radio is by the far the lower frequency / longer wavelength.
What is the longest wave length?
Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with longest wavelength.
What has the longest wave length a Gamma wave microwave visible light or x-ray?
From that list, microwaves have the longest wavelength. Those four items would be arranged by wavelength like this: - Gamma ray (shortest) - X-ray - Visible light - Microwave (longest)
Do radio waves have the shortest wavelength?
First of all, your question is not worded all that well. When we speak of a wave, in this case an electromagnetic one (as opposed to one made of water perhaps), we tend to describe them quantitatively with certain numbers. One may speak of the frequency of the wave (measured in Hertz), the energy of a wave (in joules), or, in your case, the wavelength of a wave (in metres). The electromagnetic spectrum is usually taught to span from radio waves (waves with relatively large wavelengths and low frequencies) to gamma rays (waves with relatively small wavelenths and very high frequencies). The misunderstanding you seem to have is that the electromagnetic spectrum stops at radio waves. It does not. In theory, the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite and continuous. That is to say, there is no limit to how large a wavelength can be nor how small one can be. The electromagnetic spectrum susually stops at radio waves (with a typical wavelength ranging from 1 to 10 metres) because waves longer than these lose their practicality. In theory, they exist, but they simply are not as important to us than their shorter cousins!!! Just as a side note, "long waves" are said to have a wavelength of around order 10^3 metres (or just around the order of a kilometre). Theoretically, I can imagine it possible to have a wave with a wavelength as long as the universe itself! Of course, as I mentioned earlier, such waves are of little practical value to us. As a result, yes it does have the "longest" waves.
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).
Waves with the longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies true of false?
Trick question. Wavelength is not directly or indirectly proportional to frequency.
Which has higher frequency microwaves or tv waves?
In the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves, microwaves and radiowaves (microwaves are sometimes classified under radio waves), have the longest wavelengths, and the lowest frequencies (and therefore, energy).
Which waves in the electromagnetic spectrum have the longest wavelength?
The waves with the longest wavelengths are known as radio waves.
What is the longest wavelength photon?
There is no longest wavelength for photons. It can be arbitrarily long.
Which electromagnetic waves has the longest wavelength?
"radio waves" have longest wavelength..
Which light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency?
The longest visible wavelength of light appears red. "Longest wavelength" is equivalent to 'lowest frequency'.
Which colour have longest wavelength in the visible spectrum?
Red light has the longest wavelength.
What is the measurement between waves?
Distance between two waves is known as wavelength. Out of all electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Waves that have less wavelength are highly energetic.
What color of visible light has longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
Photons with lowest energy have the?
-- longest wavelength -- lowest frequency
