Why is microwaves found between infrared and radio waves?

the electromagnetic spectrum (all existing radiation) is organized in order of shortest wavelength from the left to longest wavelength from the right. Infrared waves, felt as heat, are slightly longer than the visible light spectrum, and microwaves longer still, and radio waves longer still.


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.


The radio waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are called what?

From longest wave length to shortest (least energy to most, lowest frequency to highest) the spectrum is: Radio & TV - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible Light - Ultraviolet - X-Rays - Gamma Rays


Do radio waves on the electromagnetic have the shortest wavelengths and the highest energy?

The long waves (which also have low energy) are radio waves. Then microwaves and infrared. Then visible light, red to violet (ROYGBIV). Then ultraviolet, X-Rays, and gamma rays (which have the highest energy. So red has a longer wavelength than blue.


Which has longer wavelength radio or gamma?

radio waves! radio waves have wavelengths longer than about a millimeter, while visible light has wavelengths around 750 billionths to 400 billionths of a meter.

The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays


Is ultraviolet radiation longest wavelength?

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum orders radiation from longest to shortest wavelength as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength out of radio waves Infared waves X-rays Ultraviolet light and Gamma Rays?

The shortest on this list is gamma rays.The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:RadioInfra-redUltravioletX-raysGamma rays


What is the correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum form shortest wavelength to longest?

The correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest wavelength to longest is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


What is the longest to shortest wave length?

The longest wavelength is radio waves, followed by microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelength.


From shortest to longest wavelength what correctly orders the different categories of electromagnetic radiation?

The correct order from shortest to longest wavelength for the different categories of electromagnetic radiation is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


What are 3 forms of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength higher than visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation: has shorter wavelengths than visible light. X-rays: have even shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet radiation. Gamma rays: have the shortest wavelengths and highest energy among electromagnetic radiation.


What where the List five types of electromagnetic radiation put in order from the longest wavelengths to the shortest?

What types of waves make up the electricomagnetic spectrum?

The electromagnetic spectrum includes waves such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves differ in their frequency and wavelength, with radio waves having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


Is ultraviolet the shortest wavelength?

No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.


What is electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength?

The gamma ray has the shortest wavelength (and shortest period) as well as the highest frequency (and highest energy) of all forms of electromagnetic radiation.That's the part of the spectrum that we call "gamma rays".There is no definite answer to this as we can have shorter and shorter wavelengths from a value which we have assigned to be the shortest wavelength.However, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.Gamma radiation ;)The region of the spectrum that we call "gamma rays" has.


What has the shortest wavelength in radiation?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
