Low frequency waves are waves with long wavelengths, by definition, since their cycle is slowly repeated. One example is AM radio waves compared to visible light waves. AM radio waves have a frequency of around 1 MegaHertz (1,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 meters long. In contrast, visible light waves have a frequency of around 500 TeraHertz (300,000,000,000,000 s-1) and are around 500 nanometers long (.000000500 meters).

Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?

The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.

What type of waves is as big as buildings?

These are medium, low and very low frequency radio waves as well as ultra low, super low and extremely low frequency waves.


Which type of radiation in the electronmagnetic spectrum is the least energetic?

The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum. The least energetic type of radiation may be found in what is known as "extremely low frequency" radiation (ELF). This is radiation with a frequency in the range 3-30 Hertz. ELF radiation can penetrate seawater and so is particularly useful for communicating with submarines.


Why does electromagnetic radiation have the lowest energy?

Electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy due to its long wavelength and low frequency. In the electromagnetic spectrum, radiation with longer wavelengths, such as radio waves, carries lower energy compared to higher-frequency radiation like gamma rays.


Which waves in the electromagnetic spectrum have the longest wavelength?

The waves with the longest wavelengths are known as radio waves.


What types of electromagnetic radiation do human bodies emit?

Human bodies emit various types of electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of infrared radiation (heat) and extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields produced by biological processes like nerve impulses and muscle contractions. These emissions are typically very low in intensity and are a natural part of the body's functioning.


What kind of radiation do photocopy machines emit and what is the exact wavelength of this radiation on average?

Other than visible light used to scan the original to be copied, some heat, and the kind of very low and extremely low frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by all electrical devices, photocopiers do not emit radiation.


What is low frequency radiation called?

LF-RF or low frequency radio frequencies. This spans frequencies from just below the AM radio band through the shortwave radio bands.


Long wavelength and a low frequency is what type of radiation?

This type of radiation would be classified as radio waves. Radio waves have long wavelengths and low frequencies, making them suitable for communication and broadcasting purposes.
