What else can I help you with?
Do radio waves have the shortest wavelength?
First of all, your question is not worded all that well. When we speak of a wave, in this case an electromagnetic one (as opposed to one made of water perhaps), we tend to describe them quantitatively with certain numbers. One may speak of the frequency of the wave (measured in Hertz), the energy of a wave (in joules), or, in your case, the wavelength of a wave (in metres). The electromagnetic spectrum is usually taught to span from radio waves (waves with relatively large wavelengths and low frequencies) to gamma rays (waves with relatively small wavelenths and very high frequencies). The misunderstanding you seem to have is that the electromagnetic spectrum stops at radio waves. It does not. In theory, the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite and continuous. That is to say, there is no limit to how large a wavelength can be nor how small one can be. The electromagnetic spectrum susually stops at radio waves (with a typical wavelength ranging from 1 to 10 metres) because waves longer than these lose their practicality. In theory, they exist, but they simply are not as important to us than their shorter cousins!!! Just as a side note, "long waves" are said to have a wavelength of around order 10^3 metres (or just around the order of a kilometre). Theoretically, I can imagine it possible to have a wave with a wavelength as long as the universe itself! Of course, as I mentioned earlier, such waves are of little practical value to us. As a result, yes it does have the "longest" waves.
Explain why the energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves?
The energy of infrared waves is greater than the energy of radio waves. This is because infrared waves has a smaller wavelength compared to radio waves. The smaller the wavelength, the higher the energy.
The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is?
The difference between a radio wave and a x-ray is the fact that x-rays have a much higher frequency. Since higher frequency means more energy in electromagnetic waves, x-rays can be used for purposes such as taking photos of things inside the body. Radio waves are at a lower frequency and have a much longer wavelength. They are used in radio, television, and communication.
Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?
X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.
Frequency spectrum analysis of AM wave?
An amplitude modulated signal consists of a CW (continuous wave) at the carrier frequency, plus two components for each frequency in the modulating information. The two components are separated from the carrier by a frequency equal to the modulating frequency, with one above and one below the carrier frequency. Thus, the modulating information appears twice in the spectrum of the modulated signal.
As you move from the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum to the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the frequency of the light?
colour blue ------> red frequency drops, wavelength increases, because speed remains constant and speed=frequency*wavelength
Which end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum has longer wavelength Red or Blude?
Deep dark red is the visible light with the longest wavelength. Violet is the visible light with the shortest wavelength.
Does gamma rays have a low frequency and a short wavelength?
No, gamma rays have a high frequency and a short wavelength compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light. They are the most energetic and penetrating type of electromagnetic radiation.
How are frequency and wavelenght related to specific region of the spectrum?
In the electromagnetic spectrum, shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies, and longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies. For example, in the visible light spectrum, blue light has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to red light. This relationship holds true across all regions of the spectrum.
Why does electromagnetic radiation have the lowest energy?
Electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy due to its long wavelength and low frequency. In the electromagnetic spectrum, radiation with longer wavelengths, such as radio waves, carries lower energy compared to higher-frequency radiation like gamma rays.
Why does violet light have more ener than red light?
Violet light has more energy than red light because it has a shorter wavelength. In the electromagnetic spectrum, energy is directly proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. Since violet light has a shorter wavelength, it has a higher frequency and therefore more energy compared to red light.
Why red has a greater wavelength than blue?
Red light has a greater wavelength than blue light because red light has a lower frequency and energy. In the electromagnetic spectrum, longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies, while shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies. Therefore, red light, with its longer wavelength, has a lower frequency compared to blue light.
The lower the frequency of a sound wave the?
For electromagnetic waves:Speed(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength(lambda)ORwavelength(lambda)=speed(v)/frequency(f)Therefore, wavelength and frequency have an Inverse relationship this means that assuming speed remains constant if the wavelength increases (gets longer) the frequency will decrease.
Which has a higher frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum white or black?
White light has a higher frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum compared to black. White light consists of all the colors of the visible spectrum, each with a different frequency, whereas black is the absence of light and has no specific frequency.
How are frequency wavelength and color interdependent on each other?
Each colour has different wavelengths....For example: In VIBGYOR It is in the order of increasing wavelength i.e Compared to red violet is having the shorter wavelength..... The frequency and wavelength are related by the equation: In vaccum: frequency= c/wavelengthwherec is the velocity of light in free spaceWhereas in any medium,frequency= Velocity of light in that medium/wavelength So, it is clear from the formula that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other.... As the wavelength changes with colour the frequency also changes according to that.............. If the frequency is high, the wavelength will be low and viceversa....
Why does red have a lower frequency then other colors?
Red light has a lower frequency because it has a longer wavelength compared to other colors in the visible spectrum. Electromagnetic waves with longer wavelengths have lower frequencies, while waves with shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies. This is why red light, with its longer wavelength, falls on the lower end of the visible light spectrum in terms of frequency.
Which wave has the lowest Amplitude?
Low frequency waves have a very long wavelength. Radio waves are the waves with the lowest frequency, also known as electromagnetic radiation. +++ Muddled, because the question does not state in which context. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from very low frequency radio, via infra-red (which is heat), visible light, ultraviolet light and X-rays, to gamma radiation. Wavelength is a function of frequency and speed through the medium carrying the signal (including in-vacuo for electromagnetic): Wavelength = Speed / Frequency. (Speed not velocity, because the latter is a vector.)
