Radio waves are the longest of the E-M spectrum. The VLF (very low frequency) part of the radio spectrum is the longest usable part of that spectrum. This goes down to about 10kHz, and these low frequencies are used to communicate with submerged submarines.

What is a radio wave?

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.


What type of energy is radio waves?

A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave. It's a form of electromagnetic radiation.The term "radio" is the name given to a part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves that is used for radio and television broadcasting, mobile phones, terrestrial and satellite wireless communications networks, etc.The whole wide spectrum of electromagnetic waves has frequencies (and wavelengths) ranging from "audio" to "radio" to "infrared" to "visual light" to "X-Rays", and beyond to "gamma rays" at the very top end of the spectrum.


Which electromagnetic wave has a frequency closest to that of visible light?

Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible part has wavelengths of 7000 to 4000 Angstroms. The frequencies are 4.0 - 7.0 x 1014 Hz.


What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?

Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications). X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers. Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light. There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.


What is a radio wave's relative wavelength and frequency compared to other waves in the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum?

Radio waves are the lowest frequency (and therefore longest wavelength) waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
