Why does light rays travel straight and radio waves vary?
Higher frequency radiation follows straighter lines than lower frequency. This effect starts to become significant with VHF radio (well below microwave and visible light radiation). VHF is used for FM radio and some TV stations.
What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?
Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications). X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers. Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light. There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.
What type of frequency and wavelength does radio waves have?
One convenient working definition of 'radio' is: Electromagnetic radiation withfrequency up to 300 GHz / wavelength down to 1 millimeter.'Radio' is our name for the lowest frequency / longest wavelength, so there'sno lower limit on frequency, or upper limit on wavelength.
Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
Which has a higher frequencies am radio waves or fm radio waves?
FM radio has the higher frequency which is why it sounds better. AM is a lower frequency but can travel further because the waves bounce off
Which light has a lower frequency than an infra-red radiation?
Visible light has a lower frequency than infrared radiation. Visible light ranges in frequency from approximately 430 THz (red light) to 750 THz (violet light), while infrared radiation has frequencies below 430 THz.
Define radiation?
EM radiation higher in frequency than violet visible light but lower in frequency than soft x-rays.
How does frequency vary different forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We call light electromagnetic radiation with certain frequencies; higher frequencies and we call it Ultra violet, X-rays and gamma radiation. Frequencies lower than light we call infra red, and radio.
Why does light rays travel straight and radio waves vary?
Higher frequency radiation follows straighter lines than lower frequency. This effect starts to become significant with VHF radio (well below microwave and visible light radiation). VHF is used for FM radio and some TV stations.
What kind of radiation does a radar gun use?
Radio frequency electromagnetic radiation.
What types of electromagnetic radiation have lower energy than microwaves?
the two types of electromagnetic radiations next to visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum are the two types of electromagnetic radiations next to visible light in the electromagnetic spectrumAnswer2: Infrared and Ultra Violet are next to visible light.
What type of electromagnetic radiation can be diffracted by a hill?
Radio frequency radiation can be defracted by hills.
Why does electromagnetic radiation have the lowest energy?
Electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy due to its long wavelength and low frequency. In the electromagnetic spectrum, radiation with longer wavelengths, such as radio waves, carries lower energy compared to higher-frequency radiation like gamma rays.
Are radio waves large?
Radio waves can have wavelengths from a few millimeters to thousands of kilometers, depending on the frequency. In general, the lower the frequency of a radio wave, the longer its wavelength. This can vary significantly in size, but in many cases, radio waves are considered relatively large compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
What em radiation has the lowest frequency?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency among electromagnetic radiations.
What has the longest wave length infrared radiation radio wave ultra violet radiation visible light micro waves gamma radiation or x rays?
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths.
What has a radiation with a frequency of 5.6 MHz?
5.6x10^6 3.00x10^8/5.6x10^6= 5.3x10^-1
