Which waves would have a longer wave length those with 56Hz frequency or 2 MHz frequency?

Wavelength at 2 MHz = 149.896 meters
Wavelength at 56 Hz = 5,353.437 meters
Lower frequency --> longer wavelength.
Higher frequency --> shorter wavelength
When you multiply (frequency) times (wavelength), the result is always the same number.

The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is?
The difference between a radio wave and a x-ray is the fact that x-rays have a much higher frequency. Since higher frequency means more energy in electromagnetic waves, x-rays can be used for purposes such as taking photos of things inside the body. Radio waves are at a lower frequency and have a much longer wavelength. They are used in radio, television, and communication.
Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
What do AM waves and FM waves have in common?
Both are radio waves, meaning that they are electromagnetic radiation (light) with a wavelength longer than a metre. AM waves have a frequency of 520,000 Hz to 1,620,000 Hz (wavelengths of 580 metres to 185 metres) while FM waves have a frequency of 87,500,000 Hz to 108,000,000 Hz (3.4 metres to 2.8 metres). The signal is encoded onto AM waves by varying the amplitude (intensity) and onto FM waves by varying the frequency.
Why frequency of microwaves is longer than radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves. That name is given to radio waves atfrequencies above 3 GHz (wavelength less than 10 centimeters).
Do am radio waves have a lower frequency then ultra violet radiation?
Radio waves and ultraviolet waves are the same physical phenomenon.The difference is that radio waves have a much greater wavelength.(That's equivalent to saying that they have a much lower frequency.)
Radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet rays have longer wavelenghts then visible light?
Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves. Radio frequency waves are a lower frequency, so they have a longer wave length.
How is a waves frequency related to a waves length?
The product of the wave's frequency and the wave's wave length is equal to the speed of propagation of the wave.
What is the formila for frequency in waves?
Frequency = Speed/Wave length.
What are the diffrerent between infrared waves and radio waves?
Frequency, Length, Energy.
Can measuring a crest tell you that a wave has high frequency?
when a wave has a higher frequency, its waves are shorter. when a wave has a lower frequency, its waves are longer.
How does the length of a pipe affect pitch?
The sound produced by a pipe is due to standing waves that are formed in the body of the pipe. The fundamental frequency,f1, produced, is given by the formula : f1=v/2L , where v is the velocity of the wave and depends only on the physical characteristics of the mean (e.g. air density), and L is the length of the pipe. So if the length increases the frequency decreases.
What are high frequency sounds?
A series of short length sound waves.
If the frequency of a wave increases what does that do to waves wavelenght?
The length of the wave decreases.
What radiation has the smallest frequency?
Radio waves have the lowest frequency, Gamma rays have the smallest wave-length.
How does frequency relate to a low pitch?
longer waves= lower pitch
If Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves What else is true about radio waves?
If the wavelength is longer, then the frequency is lower and the energy is less.
What is the relationship between length and wave frequency?
Frequency is inversely proportional to the wave length, thus saying the shorter the wave length the higher the frequency and vice versa.The frequency is the number of waves within a time period. As the frequency within that time period increases, the number of waves increases, therefore the width of each wave (wavelength) within that time period has to decrease. Therefore:As the wave length increases, the frequency decreasesAs the wave length decreases, the frequency increases
