Which wave has more energy out of microwaves radio waves infrared waves and visible light waves?

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.

For example: A bright LED pours out maybe 0.075 joule of light energy each second, whereas
a large radio station pours out maybe 50,000 joules of radio energy every second.

energy you want.
But each infrared photon carries more energy than any infrared photon, and
each infrared photon carries more energy than any microwave photon.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. Both are electromagnetic radiation. The only difference is their wavelength.
Other members of the same group are heat, UV, X-rays, and gamma rays.

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.

Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?
Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
Are microwaves visible to humans?
No, microwaves aren't visible to humans. Microwaves are electromagnetic energy, and the only electromagnetic energy humans can see is that of visible light.
What are the 4 em waves originated from space?
microwaves, ultraviolet light, infrared, visible light
What is the meaning of the word infrared?
Infrared is a wavelength of light. There are other kinds such as microwaves and ultraviolet light. Infrared is a source of radiation because it is just beyond the visible spectrum.
Does Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy?
Concrete absorbs visible light and re-radiates it as infrared energy
What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength greater than that of light?
Radio, microwaves, radar, and infrared radiation have.
What wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?
Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.
What has more energy a visible light or infrared light?
Visible light. It has a higher frequency so more energy.
How do visible light and infrared energy warm earth?
The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation did the IRAS satellite detect?
visible light, infrared rays, and microwaves
What type of electromagnetic signals are currently used to communicate through space?
Infrared light Microwaves Visible light
