Yes. The shorter the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave, the higher its frequency is. Don't confuse frequency with velocity! All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same rate, C (3*10^8) m/s.

What does gamma rays and radio waves have in common?
They are all basically the same thing, electromagnetic radiation, but with different frequencies. All these waves are em waves which travel with the speed of light and it is the common b/w all the waves.
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
How does the electromagnetic spectrum organize the different types of energy waves?
The electromagnetic spectrum organizes different types of electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength or frequency.
Are microwaves radio waves?
Yes and No All waves like that or electomagnetic waves that are the same thing but just operate on different frequencies and wavelengths But not microwaves are as much radio waves as they transmit heat signatures are well as slight audio signature Essentially no but they are very similar microwaves are just faster and at a different wavelengths
Why do Electromagnetic waves have different positions on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Different frequencies, like the different positions of the keys on a piano have different frequencies. The winding of an electromagnetic produces different frequencies at different levels, But we do not have any equipment to measure frequencies that small
What is electromagnetic spectrume?
ALL the radiation from the lowest frequency to the highest.
If colors have different wavelengths do they have different frequencies and temperatures?
Yes, light is electromagnetic waves. The longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies and the lowest temperatures. The shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies and the highest temperatures.
What electromagnetic wave has the shortest frequencies?
stellar waves
Can different electromagnetic waves be converted to a single frquency?
We have the technology to do that, but only with waves longerthan about 1 millimeter (frequencies below 300 GHz).
What does gamma rays and radio waves have in common?
They are all basically the same thing, electromagnetic radiation, but with different frequencies. All these waves are em waves which travel with the speed of light and it is the common b/w all the waves.
How do electromagnetic waves vary?
they vary due to their frequencies and wavelenght
What is the difference between light waves and electromagnetic waves?
Light is ONE SMALL RANGE of the electromagnetic spectrum. In other words, electromagnetic waves within a relatively small range of frequencies - the frequencies that we are adapted to seeing with our eyes - is called "visible light", or simply "light".
Gamma rays faster than radio waves?
No. Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves and travel at the same speed. They just have different wavelengths/frequencies.
What is the arrangement of electromagnetic waves according to their wavelengths and frequencies called?
That's called the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies and the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies and shortest wavelengths are?
Gamma rays
