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
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.
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.
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.
Why is the trumpet the highest pitched brass instrument?
It has the shortest tubing and therefore the highest resonance.
The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies and shortest wavelengths are?
Gamma rays
What are electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies?
Gamma rays
What electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies called?
Gamma rays
If colors have different wavelengths do they have different frequencies and temperatures?
Yes, light is electromagnetic waves. The longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies and the lowest temperatures. The shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies and the highest temperatures.
Electromagnetic waves whose photons carry the highest energy also have the:?
shortest wavelengths
What are electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies and the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays
In the electromagnetic spectrum which has the shortest wavelength?
Shortest wavelength corresponds to highest energy, and this region of the EM spectrum contains high energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays.The part with the highest frequencies ... the end where the gamma rays are.
What electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelengths?
Gamma rays. Those also have the highest frequency, and the highest energy per photon.
Which electromagnetic waves have the longest wavelength and highest frequencies?
The longest wavelengths are usually referred to as radio waves, whereas the highest frequencies are referred to as cosmic rays (the opposite end of the spectrum).
What is a gammaray?
"Gamma ray" is the name we give to electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelengths, the highest frequencies, and photons with the highest energies. It's the category of radiation past X-rays, and more penetrating and dangerous to living tissues than X-rays are.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Name all the categories of the EM spectrum?
The categories of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, in the ascending order of their frequencies are:RadioMicrowaveInfraredVisibleUltravioletX-rayGammaHence, Radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelengths while Gamma rays have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelengths.(check related link for an image)
