What has the lowest frequency short wave or long wave radio?
Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.
What is a tuning fork and how is it used?
tuning fork steel instrument in the shape of a U with a short handle. When struck it produces an almost pure tone, retaining its pitch over a long period of time; thus it is a valuable aid in tuning musical instruments.
Does a large tuning fork make a higher note than a small tuning fork?
A large tuning fork makes a lower note and a smaller one makes a higher note. This is true with all instruments. Think about it: a string bass has much longer strings than a violin, and the bass is lower than the violin. In a piano or harp, the long strings produce the low notes and the short strings produce the high notes. Same with the length of pipes on a pipe organ. A low bassoon has a much longer length than a high little piccolo. Same with the brass instruments, a sousaphone or tuba has a much longer tube than a higher pitched trumpet.
What factor determines the pitch of a sound?
Pitch is the perceived frequency of sound. this may differ from the actual, measurable frequency of the sound because of overtones and harmonics, which when taken together the auditory part of the brain may perceive slightly differently.
What is the frequency fo radio waves in hertz?
From around 100kHz to around 500MHz. Below that, antennae need to be rather long to be efficient, above that the transmission range gets a bit short. But people have used much lower, and much higher frequencies, 40Hz - 20Gz and higher. The very high frequencies are often called microwave links.
Are the wavelengths of high frequency sounds short or long?
Shorter the wavelength higher the frequency so naturally high frequency soundwaves are short
What has the lowest frequency short wave or long wave radio?

Are microwaves higher in frequency than short wave radio?
Yes but has shorter wavelength than radiowaves.
Why does a wave with short wavelenth have a high frequency?
Wave velocity in general = frequency x wavelength As the velocity of the wave remains constant then frequency and wavelength are inversely related So as the wavelength becomes shorter then frequency becomes larger or higher
'what is alias or wave front'?
alising means higher frequency will identify as lower frequency. so oue data will lost during communication. in short alising means fre. folding
How would you classify an EM wave with a frequency of 10 to the power of 7 Hz?
I would classify it as a 'short wave' radio wave. Tuning my handy-dandy receiver to that frequency, I would expect to hear one of the standard time and frequency stations operated by N.I.S.T., and I would seize upon the opportunity to calibrate both my wrist watch and the dial on my receiver.
What will result in the best axial resolution long pulse length short pulse length low pulse repetition frequency or high pulsed repetition frequency?
== == In diagnostic ultrasound axial resolution is influenced by a number of factors including transmission pulse length and frequency of the probe. For best axial resolution short pulses are used - long pulses can potentially improve the signal to noise ratio but their use often results in "range side lobes", effectively a reduction in axial resolution. Pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is a separate issue to axial resolution however high frequency probes are able to have a higher PRF (resulting in higher frame rates) than low frequency probes due to the higher rate of absorption of the higher frequency signals.
Why are the high frequency waves also referred to as short waves?
high frequency = short wavelength
What is the relationship between a waves frequency and its energy?
The greater the energy,the larger the frequency&the shorter (smaller) the wavelength.Given the relationship between wavelength&frequency - the higher the frequency,the shorter the wavelength-it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.
Do waves with a shorter wavelengths travel faster than waves with longer wavelengths?
The physical length, short wavelengths are shorter than long wavelengthsThe frequency, short wavelengths are higher frequency than long wavelengthsThe energy per photon, short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths
Does gamma rays have a low frequency and a short wavelength?
No. Gamma rays have a high frequency, and a short wavelength.
Is radio frequency infinite?
No. The radio frequency of each station you listen to is the number shown on the tuning dial of your radio . . . like the AM station at 780 thousand per second, or the FM station at 98.5 million per second, or the 'short-wave' foreign broadcast station at 7.1 million per second. (Cellphones and GPS receivers don't have tuning dials, but they listen for signals with frequencies around 900 million per second and 1.5 billion per second, respectively.) No radio equipment can tune to frequencies greater than about 300 billion per second, but there are a huge number of more frequencies higher than that.
