Here are the ways you use the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum

just while you're in your car :

-- listen to the traffic and weather reports

-- listen to music and news

-- use your GPS to find an address

-- get a call on your cellphone

-- talk on your CB

-- open the garage door without getting out of the car in the rain

Are sound waves part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different. Sound is composed of density waves in the air or some other form of matter. Sound is a mechanical compression-rarefaction wave. The different types of electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


Where on the spectrum of electromagnetic waves does alpha radiation fit in?

Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.


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.


Where do light years fit on the electromagnetic spectrum?

They don't. A 'light year' isn't anything as romantic as an electromagnetic wave or a gamma ray. A 'light year' is nothing but a lowly unit of length or distance, just like an inch, a mile, or a kilometer. A 'light year' is the distance light travels in a year. That's roughly 5,878,700,000,000 miles. (You can see why it's easier to use 'lights years' than miles to talk about long distances.)


Where does visible light fit into the spectrum?

Visible light has a wavelength of between 400nm (nanometres) for violet and 700 nm for red. Infrared hes a longer wavelength while microwaves and radio waves have longer again. Shorter wavelengths than visible light go from ultraviolet to x-rays then gamma rays.

How are electromagnetic waves arranged in the electromagnetic waves?

They fit perfectly, with no extra, unused space, and nothing left hanging out.


How is the emission spectrum related to the absorption spectrum?

They are related by they are both spectrums that give the color(s) that the element is. The Emission Spectrum shows what color(s) it gives off, and the Absortion shows what color it absorbs and doesn't show. They also fit together and make a continuous spectrum.


Why do the frequencies of EM waves increase and the wavelength decrease?

Frequency refers to the vibration of some object that is creating a wave; in the case of electromagnetic waves, it would normally be an electron. Let us then imagine a vibrating electron. Every time it vibrates, it produces a wave. If it vibrates a million times a second it produces a million waves. The electromagnetic radiation always travels at the same speed, the speed of light, sometimes known as c, which is equal to 300,000 kilometers per second. So if there are a million waves per second, they will fit into the space of 300,000 kilometers, which makes each wave a third of a kilometer in length. Increase the frequency and you increase the number of waves, but the total distance remains the same, so you have to fit more waves into the same distance, hence, each individual wave is smaller, meaning it has a shorter wavelength. So if the electron is now vibrating at a billion times a second, it produces a billion waves, and they still have to fit into 300,000 kilometers, hence, each wave is now a third of a meter in length, rather than a third of a kilometer. If the electron vibrates at a trillion times a second, the waves are then a third of a millimeter in length. And so forth.
