Radio waves are longer than X-rays and because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, X-Rays have more energy. The formula is 1.25uevm/wavelength, that is the energy is 1.25 micro electron volt divided by the wavelength in meters.

What is a form of electomanetic energy that can be described in terms of wavelength?

Radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy, the light as we saw is part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum of around 400 - 700 nm. When we generally speak of electromagnetic wave length we usually refer to radio to microwave of wavelength around 10-2 to 103 m but the whole span of wavelength from gamma ray to radio wave counted as electromagnetic wave.


How range of radiant energy arrange in order of energy or wavelength?

The range of radiant energy can be arranged in order of energy from high to low as follows: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves. In terms of wavelength, the order would be reversed.


How do the types of energy that make up the EM spectrum differ?

The types of energy in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum differ in terms of their wavelength and frequency. The spectrum ranges from low energy, long-wavelength radio waves to high-energy, short-wavelength gamma rays. Each type of energy interacts with matter differently and has unique properties and uses.


What kind of energy produces light?

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, and depending on the wavelength specified, various types of energy from radio waves to gamma rays can be produced, gamma rays being of the highest energy and the shortest wavelength.


What is different about each type of electromagnetic wave?

Each type of electromagnetic wave differs in terms of frequency, wavelength, and energy. For example, radio waves have low frequency and long wavelength, while gamma rays have high frequency and short wavelength. These differences determine the properties and behaviors of each type of electromagnetic wave.


HOW DO THE REGIONS IN THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM DIFFER IN TERMS OF WAVE LENGTH FREQUENCY AND ENERGY?

The electromagnetic spectrum consists of different regions such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each region differs in terms of wavelength, frequency, and energy. For example, radio waves have longer wavelengths, lower frequencies, and lower energy, while gamma rays have shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies, and higher energy.


How can you tell the wave has energy in itAnswer in terms of work?

Telling which wave has energy in it is easy. The higher the frequency and the lower the wavelength have the highest energy.


How do the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum differ?

In the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation the wave property that changes is the frequency. So for example xrays have higher frequency then blue light which has higher frequency then red light which has higher frequency then radio waves etc.


How are color lights related to energy?

Color lights are related to energy in terms of their wavelength and frequency. Different colors of light have different energy levels due to their varying wavelengths. Red light has lower energy with a longer wavelength, while blue light has higher energy with a shorter wavelength. This energy difference is important in applications such as lighting technology and the study of optics.


How are gamma rays and radio waves similar?

Gamma rays and radio waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation. They differ in terms of wavelength and frequency, with gamma rays having the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Both types of radiation can be utilized for various applications, ranging from medical imaging using gamma rays to communication technology using radio waves.


What are the different speeds of the electromagnetic spectrum?

In terms of speed, every part of the electromagnetic spectrum, (radio waves, infra-red, ultraviolet), all travel at the same speed in a vacuum, the speed of light, which is 300,000,000 m/s approx. In terms of energy, the low frequency and long wavelength end of the spectrum, such as radio, have a low energy as opposed to the high frequency and short wavelength end, such as gamma rays.


What is the difference in terms of wavelength and frequency between a radio wave and an x-ray?

Radio waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to x-rays, which have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.
