Microwaves have a longer wavelength than visible light and are commonly used in cooking, as they are able to penetrate food and cause water molecules to vibrate, generating heat. Microwaves are also used in satellite communication to transmit signals due to their ability to travel through the Earth's atmosphere and interact with satellites in orbit.

Why aren't ultraviolet waves not used to transmit signals to and from communication satellites?

Because they are of the highest frequencies in the known electromagnetic spectrum. This means their wavelength are very short, which means they will not travel very far, as opposed to low-frequency RF waves. In comparison, the same idea applies to vehicle taillights and why they're colored red (the color red has the longest wavelength in visible light and it will be visible even from a long distance).


What types of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light?

Some types of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light include infrared radiation, microwaves, radio waves, and long-wavelength radio waves. These forms of radiation have wavelengths that are not visible to the human eye but are used in various applications such as remote sensing, communication, and cooking.


What color of visible light has longest wavelength?

Red is the longest wavelength of visible light


Wavelength of electrons are what percent visible in the white light?

The wavelength of electrons is about 10,000 times shorter than the wavelength of visible light. This means that electrons are not visible in white light as their wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum.


Which end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum has longer wavelength Red or Blude?

Deep dark red is the visible light with the longest wavelength. Violet is the visible light with the shortest wavelength.


What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?

Red is the longest wavelength of visible light


Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?

The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.


What is longer than visible wavelength called?

Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a lower frequency, than visible light.


True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?

No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).


What color has the greatest wavelength?

Red has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum.


What colour light has the lowest wavelength?

Violet light has the lowest wavelength in the visible light spectrum.


Is a red light a visible light with the shortest wavelength?
