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.
Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?
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
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 has more energy ultraviolet rays or gamma rays?
On the elecromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have much more energy
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.
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.
Does red or violet have the shortest wavelength?
Ultraviolet has a shorter wavelength than red, green, or infrared light.
Is the UV radiation the sortest wavelength?
No, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.
Which of the alpha beta and gamma radiation is formed of electromagnetic radiation?
We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
How is the electromagnetic spectrum divided?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum consists of: (From least intense to most)Radio WavesMicrowavesInfraredVisible LightUltraviolet LightX-RaysGamma Rays
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
Which form of visible light has the shortest wavelength?
ultraviolet waves
What are the differences between Ultraviolet and Infrared radiations?
Frequencies and wavelengths (APEX)
