The radio spectrum for communications spans approximately from 150 kHz to 26 MHz.

The visible light frequency range is at least 400 THz.

No contest -- visible light is at least 15 million times higher in frequency.

Energy = Planck's constant * frequency. Hence visible light carries a higher energy.

How are visible light infrared light X-rays gamma rays microwaves and radio waves related?

they are all part of the electro magnet spectrum :)


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.


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.


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


What is the difference between infrared waves and microwaves?

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that occur on the EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation) scale above radio/tv waves and below infrared and visible light waves. They are used in cooking devices (microwave oven) and as carrier waves for cell phone and other communication devices. In other words, a "microwave" is a type of electromagnetic radiation (like visible light waves, tv waves and so on), and a "microwave oven" is a cooking device that uses microwaves to heat foods by stimulation of the water molecule.
