What are two different types of light waves?

Two different types of light waves are visible light waves and ultraviolet light waves. Visible light waves are the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can detect, while ultraviolet light waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light.

exactly what you said its called visible light.


Where is visible light found in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Electromagnetism is manifest along a continuum between slower radio waves and faster energy gamma waves. Visible light can be found in the range between infrared light (slower than waves of visible light) and ultraviolet light (faster than waves of visible light).


Do visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves?

Yes, visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves. Visible light waves fall within the range of frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum that is higher than radio waves.

Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.


Why do astrinomers use visible light?

For a long time, that was the only means available to them. It's only been comparatively recently that we've had instruments able to detect and measure radio waves from space, or ways to hoist infra-red detectors, ultraviolet detectors, x-ray detectors, and gamma ray detectors up above the atmosphere.


Is light and electromagnetic waves are alike?

Light is the visible form of electromagnetic waves.


Are visible light waves mechanical waves?

No. They're electromagnetic waves.


What do mirror do to light waves?

there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.
