What is range of wavelengths of em waves?

Electromagnetic (EM) waves encompass a broad spectrum of wavelengths, ranging from extremely short gamma rays, which can be less than 0.01 nanometers, to very long radio waves, which can exceed 100 kilometers. The entire range of EM waves is typically divided into categories, including gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves. The visible spectrum, which is the portion of EM radiation detectable by the human eye, ranges from about 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red). Overall, the wavelength range of EM waves spans from about 10^-12 meters to over 10^3 meters.


Do x-rays pass through matter more slowly than radio waves?

X-rays are a form of gamma radiation. Gamma radiation passes through human tissue with no difficulty. Gamma can only be blocked by an incredibly large mass of solid matter, such as extremely thick lead. Radio waves can be reflected or interfered with by a number of different transition metals. Radio waves have a larger range than gamma radiation because they are broadcasted from a medium rather than a source.


How does radio frequencies produce radiation levels?

radiation just means energy that travels. radio waves are just a type of radiation, so is visible light. anything that radiates, including heat, is radiation.


Answer for radiation from gamma to radio waves?

Gamma rays are very high energetic rays whereas radio waves are very weak in strength. However, radio waves can travel far distances and have large wavelength. Radio waves have large application in the field of telecommunication.


Is radio waves a form of radiation?

Yes, radio waves are electromagnetic waves.They are in the part of the spectrum with the longer wavelengths, longer than microwaves, and visible light waves.
