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.


Can you explain how radio waves compare to visible light waves?

Radio waves and visible light waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they differ in terms of their frequencies and wavelengths. Radio waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to visible light waves. This means that radio waves have lower energy and are used for communication purposes, such as broadcasting radio signals. Visible light waves, on the other hand, have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, allowing us to see the colors of the spectrum.


Which has longer wavelength radio v light?

Radio waves have longer wavelengths than light waves. Radio waves can have wavelengths ranging from hundreds of meters to kilometers, while visible light waves have wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers.


Are infrared rays electromagnet waves that are longer than radio waves but shorter than visible light rays?

Infrared waves are shorter than radio waves and longer than visible light waves.


Do radio waves microwaves and waves all have longer wavelengths 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.


Compared to the velocity of radio waves the velocity of visible light waves is?

The velocity of visible light waves is the same as the velocity of radio waves in a vacuum, both traveling at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second).


Is the greater the wavelength the deeper the penetration?

Yes, longer wavelengths like radio waves penetrate deeper into materials compared to shorter wavelengths like visible light. This is why radio waves can travel through walls and other obstacles, while visible light cannot.


What is radio astromony?

astronomy using radio waves, rather than visible light. visible light and radio waves are essentially the same, only radio waves have a much longer wavelength. not everything emits light in the visible band, many otherwise invisible objects can only be detected using extreme wavelengths.


What color light is emitted by radio waves?

Radio waves do not emit visible light. Only light with wavelengths of roughly 4*10^-7 to 7*10^-7 meters are visible.


Which waves can a human not detect?

Humans cannot detect electromagnetic waves outside of the visible light spectrum, such as ultraviolet light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Additionally, humans cannot directly detect gamma rays and X-rays.


What kind of wave are electromagnetic waves?

radio waves
