How do AM radio and television wavelengths compare with X rays?
All wavelengths used for communication are longer than all infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray wavelengths.
What form of energy travels in varying wavelengths such as visible light infrared waves radio waves ultraviolet waves and X rays?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes visible light radio waves and infrared ultraviolet and x-rays.
Are radio waves and light waves both electromagnetic waves?
Yes. So are heat waves, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. They're all the same thing, only with different wavelengths.
What type of radiation has the shortest wavelength of radio waves or cosmic rays or ultraviolet light or infrared light?
X-rays have the shortest wavelength of those listed.
Do microwaves or ultraviolet waves have longer wavelengths?
Microwaves have the longer wavelengths. Here is a basic electro magnetic spectrum from smallest wavelength to largest: Gamma Rays: 10-12 to -10 (.000000000001 meters) X-Rays: 10-10 to -8 (.0000000001 meters) Ultraviolet: 10-8 to -6 (.00000001 meters) Visible Light: 10-6 to -5 (.000001 meters) Infrared: 10-5 to -2 (.00001 meters) Microwaves: 10-2 to 3 (.001 to 1000 meters) Radio waves: 103 (1000 meters or more)
How long are X-ray wavelengths compared with ultraviolet wavelengths?
Ultraviolet photons have wavelengths below 400nm. X-ray photons have wavelengths between 0.01nm - 10nm. Photons with wavelengths smaller than xrays' are called gamma rays.
What ray is longer ultraviolet or visible rays?
All visible wavelengths are longer than the wavelength of ultraviolet.
How do AM radio and television wavelengths compare with X rays?
All wavelengths used for communication are longer than all infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and X-ray wavelengths.
What type of energy have wavelengths shorter than visible light?
Ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma radiation do.
What wavelengths can you not see?
Everything outside of about 400-800 nm i.e. Radio mirco wave infrared ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray
Which wavelength is longer ultraviolet or light?
The wavelengths of visible light are longer than ultraviolet wavelengths.
Why can't we see infrared waves?
Our eyes are adapted to a certain range of wavelengths; infrared and ultraviolet are those waves that are just outside this range.
Range of wavelengths for ultraviolet rays?
3 x 10-8 to 4 x 10-7 meter
What does the B stand for in ultraviolet B?
The 'B' doesn't actually stand for anything. It simply designates ultraviolet radiation of a certain range of wavelengths. Please see the link.
Wavelengths of violet light compared to wavelengths of ultraviolet light?
Violet light has longer wavelengths.
How does a gamma ray relate to an electromagnetic ray?
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic ray, and that is how they are related. Electromagnetic rays come in a range (a spectrum) of frequencies. We could also say that they come in a range of wavelengths or energies, too. Gamma rays are produced by nuclear action (changes in atomic nuclii), and they are the electromagnetic rays at the very high end of the frequency range (and the energy range). They have the shortest wavelength, too. Below gamma rays are the X-rays, then below that ultraviolet rays. Below that are the optical or visible frequencies of light, and then below that are the infrared rays or wavelengths. Below infrared are the microwave frequencies, and below that we find "regular" radio waves.
Which stars are brightest at ultraviolet wavelengths?
OB
