How does the frequency of radio waves compare with the frequency of visible light?
The radio wave part of the spectrum is very wide. The extreme ends are, roughly,
- 15km ( used for communicating with submerged submarines)
- 1 mm ( used for research, and possibly for radar)
The visible spectrum covers only a 2:1 range of wavelengths. It is centred on the colour yellow, with a wavelength ~= 700nm.
The very shortest of the radio waves is about 1000 times as long as yellow light.
What else can I help you with?
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.
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 longer wavelength radio waves or visible light?
Neither is nesesarily longer a wave can go on forever. Visible light is more reflective than infared light so it will last longer. If you are talking about wavelength, infared lights wavelength is longer.
Which has the highest frequency gamma rays X-rays visible light radio waves?
Almost. They are shorter than radio waves, and they are the next order up from radio waves, but they have different properties in terms of interaction with materials. So right idea, wrong classification. See the Related Links.
What color light is emitted by radio waves?
Radio waves do not emit visible light. Only light with wavelengths of roughly 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 meters are visible.
Does visible light have a higher frequency then radio waves?
Definitely. The highest radio frequency is around 300 GHz, whereas the lowest visible frequency is around 400,000 GHz.
Which has the lowest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves radio waves visible light or gamma rays?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency in all of the electromagnetic spectrum. The next higher frequency energy is microwave, visible light including ultraviolet, infrared, X-ray, then gamma ray
How does the speed of a radio compare to the speed of visible light?
Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.
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.
Do microwaves have the highest frequency?
No. Several other electromagnetic waves - including visible light - have a higher frequency.
Put the waves in order of decreasing frequency?
The waves in order of decreasing frequency are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
Who has a lower frequency gamma ray infrared wave radio wave or visible light?
Gamma ray
What are the Electromagnetic waves between radio waves and visible light in frequency?
Terahertz and infrared radiation.
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
What has wave lengths longer than the wave lengths of visible light?
Radio waves, microwaves and infrared light have a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.
Arrange the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing frequency infrared comic rays visible light microwaves radio waves and ultraviolet?
In order of increasing frequency: (i) radio waves. (ii) microwaves. (iii) infrared. (iv) visible light. (v) ultraviolet. hope this helps =)
Compare the frequency and energy of infrared rays to the frequency and energy of visible light?
Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.
