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.


What are the members of electomagnetic spectrum?

From lowest frequency to highest, the electromagnetic spectrum consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. Heat, or thermal radiation, is also a type of electromagnetic wave, but is not limited to any particular frequency range. Televisions and cell phones use electromagnetic waves in the radio-wave region.


Is ultraviolet radiation longest wavelength?

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum orders radiation from longest to shortest wavelength as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What is meant by spectrum wave?

A spectrum wave refers to the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. It includes different types of waves such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays with varying frequencies and wavelengths. Each type of wave carries different amounts of energy and has different properties.


Is sun rays ionising radiation or non ionising?

Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.

Which electromagnetic wave can create ions?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is an electromagnetic wave that can create ions by removing electrons from atoms or molecules. This process is called ionization.

A) gamma rays are the most energetic type of electromagnetic wave.


What type of invisible radiation from space can be detected from earth?

Long wave radio, short wave radio, microwave radio, heat, far infrared, near infrared, ultraviolet UV-A, ultraviolet UV-B, high energy X-rays, high energy gamma rays.


What type of electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy?

You have gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra red rays, microwaves and radio waves in increasing order of wave length and and decreasing order of frequencies. Out of which radio waves have lowest energy. Longer the wave length, lower is the energy.
