Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?

The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays


Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x ray gamma ray?

X-rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.


In the electromagnetic spectrum what is the radiation on either side of visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation lies on the shorter-wavelength side of visible light, while infrared radiation lies on the longer-wavelength side. Ultraviolet has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light, while infrared has lower energy and longer wavelengths.


Does electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represent a larger energy transition than does radiation in the infrared region?

Yes, electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet region represents a larger energy transition than radiation in the infrared region. This is because ultraviolet radiation has higher frequency and shorter wavelength compared to infrared radiation, leading to higher energy photons.


What electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength out of radio waves Infared waves X-rays Ultraviolet light and Gamma Rays?

The shortest on this list is gamma rays.The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:RadioInfra-redUltravioletX-raysGamma rays

Which type of radiation from the sun is the longest wavelength?

Radio waves are at the long wavelength end of the sun's emissions.


What has the shorter wavelength ultraviolet or infrared?

Ultraviolet light has a shorter wavelength than infrared light. Ultraviolet light falls within the range of 10 to 400 nanometers, while infrared light falls within the range of 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter.


What type of radiation has the shortest wavelength of radio waves or cosmic rays or ultraviolet light or infrared light?

X-rays have the shortest wavelength of those listed.


What is the correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum form shortest wavelength to longest?

The correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest wavelength to longest is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


Which property spells the diffirences between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?

The key property that differentiates infrared and ultraviolet radiation is their frequency or wavelength. Infrared radiation has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to ultraviolet radiation. This difference in frequency and wavelength determines the energy levels and interactions of each type of radiation with matter.


Which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation has the longest wavelength?

Radio waves have the longest wavelength among the types of electromagnetic radiation listed.


From shortest to longest wavelength what correctly orders the different categories of electromagnetic radiation?

The correct order from shortest to longest wavelength for the different categories of electromagnetic radiation is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


What is the longest radiation wavelength that can be used to ionize the ground state hydrogen atom?

The longest radiation wavelength that can ionize the ground state hydrogen atom is in the ultraviolet range, around 91.2 nm. This is known as the Lyman limit, where the photon energy is just enough to ionize hydrogen by freeing the electron from its bound state.


Which has more energyinfrared or ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet with its higher frequency and shorter wavelength carries more energy then infrared.
