Do am radio waves have a lower frequency then ultra violet radiation?
Radio waves and ultraviolet waves are the same physical phenomenon.The difference is that radio waves have a much greater wavelength.(That's equivalent to saying that they have a much lower frequency.)
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.
Moving along the electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays frequency increases so wavelength?
The wavelength decreases.The speed of light is the speed of all electromagnetic radiation (such as radio waves, light waves, gamma rays, etc.) in vacuum.The speed of light (c) is a physical constant with the exact value of 299,792,458 m/s.speed of light = frequency x wavelengthso when frequency increases, wavelength decreases .
Do different electromagnetic waves have different frequencies?
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.
When electromagnetic radiation is arranged to wavelength and frequency it forms the?
When electromagnetic radiation is arranged to wavelength and frequency it forms the electromagnetic spectrum.
Because c the speed of electromagnetic radiation is a constant the wavelength of the radiation is....?
The wavelength is inversely proportional to its frequency. That is, as the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases and vice versa.
If frequency is tripled what happens to wavelength?
If frequency is multiplied by three, wavelength is divided by three. Higher frequency, shorter wavelength.
Long wavelength and a low frequency is what type of radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation
What wavelength signal has a frequency of 0.6 Ghz?
Electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 0.6GHz is ultra-high frequency Microwaves. It has a wavelength of 50cm.
What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 0.0000240?
12.5 terahertz. If your wavelength is in meters.
Radiation with a wavelength 4.2 nm?
X rays have a wavelength of 4.2 nm.
What is the frequency of radiation that has a wavelength of 13?
2.3*10^13
If you know the vacuum wavelength of any form of electromagnetic radiation you can determine its frequency because?
You know its speed in vacuum, and frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) .
How are wavelenghth and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?
For any wave, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of propagation).For electromagnetic waves, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of 'light')
What does it mean for something to have wavelike properties?
Waves are characterized by wavelength, frequency, and speed. Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a wave. The frequency is defined as the number of waves (cycles) per second that pass a given space. Since all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light, short-wavelength radiation must have a high frequency and long-wavelength radiation must have a low frequency.
Why is radiation with shortest wavelength the most powerful?
In our Universe, EM radiation can only come in discrete chunks called "photons." The energy of each individual photon depends on the frequency of the EM radiation. Frequency depends on wavelength (or vice-versa): the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. Thus, short wavelength photons have more energy. That's just how our Universe operates, whether or not we like it.
