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.

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 is the difference between long radio waves and short radiowaves?

Actually, they're not shorter, they're longer. Their radio wave length is 10^3, whereas visible light is 0.5*(10^-6). Take a look here for further proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum


What is the minimum wavelength of a radio wave?

Extra-low frequency radio waves can have wavelengths as long as 3.5 miles or more. The shortest wavelength is around 1 mm.


Does a tuning fork with short prongs have higher frequency than a tuning fork with long prongs?

Yes, a tuning fork with short prongs typically has a higher frequency than one with long prongs. This is because shorter prongs vibrate more rapidly, producing a higher pitch sound. In contrast, longer prongs vibrate at a lower frequency, resulting in a deeper pitch. Thus, the length of the prongs affects the frequency of the sound produced.


What is an radio frequency interference filter?

I assume you mean for something like a car. It can be as simple as a capacitor to as complex as total shielding for the engine. The need is because spark plugs put out a random collection of radio frequencies, in fact the first "radios" were just that: a kind of spark plug that ran short or long for dots and dashes. Everybody heard everybody else.

What type of wave has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency?

The type of wave that has the longest wavelength and lowest frequency is a radio wave. These waves are used for communication and broadcasting due to their ability to travel long distances.


What type of wave has the has the lowest frequency?

The electromagnetic radiation with the lowest energy is?

Electromagnetic radiation with the lowest frequency has the least energy. E = hv, where E is energy in Joules, his Planck's constant, 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg/s, and v is frequency in Hertz.


What are the forms of electromagnetic waves with the lowest frequency?

The spectrum has been arranged in the order of increasing fequency and is given as follows: Long waves, (waves produced during lightning) - LOWEST FREQUENCY Medium waves, short waves. All these come under common title Radio waves Mircro waves Infrared Visible Ultra violet X-ray Gama ray The lowest frequency is the LOng wave. Hope electromagnetic waves may be produced when thinking process continues. The frequency will be the least one.


Which ray has minimum frequency?

Long waves due to lightning has lowest frequecy. Apart from light produced an electrical disturbance in the form of electromagnetic waves are also accompanied with the lightning.


Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?

The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.

What is a low frequency wave?

Radio waves are the lowest frequency waves. Next are microwaves, then infra-red waves.


What is short frequency?

Well, I assume you are talking about waves, am I correct? Frequency is the distance between the crest and the trough of a wave. Gamma rays are the waves of highest frequency that we know of. Ultraviolet possesses a frequency just above the frequency of visible light (remember ROYGBIV). Descend in frequency beneath red and you'll come to infrared. While snakes can detect this (I am not yet sure how) the human eye cannot detect anything of this low frequency although we often use this in modern technology (note nightvision goggles). The higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength and vice versa. Radio waves have an extremely short frequency and an extremely long wavelength.


What does AM and FM on the radio stand for?

Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation. They are different methods of transmitting radio signals. AM is good for transmitting radio signals long distance FM is good for transmitting radio signals short distances but better quality


What is the relationship of color of light and frequency?

Each colour of visible light has a different frequency. Red has the lowest frequency, meaning it has a long wavelength. Purple has the highest frequency and has a very short wavelength. The order is: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. I hope this helps you!


Which types of electromagnetic waves are used for radio communication?

Radio communication typically uses electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency range, specifically in the Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands. These waves have wavelengths that are suitable for transmitting signals over long distances and are commonly used for broadcasting, two-way radio communication, and cellular communications.
