EM waves with the shortest wavelengths are called gamma rays. The range of wavelengths that are called gamma rays is between 1 x 10^-12 meters and 1 x 10^-20 meters, or; .000000000001 m to .00000000000000000001 m .

Is the spectrum of an element limited to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum?

No. The emission and absorption spectrum covers everything from UHF radio to X-rays. (There are no energy level transitions that correspond to the low energy HF or VHF radio bands and below. The lowest-energy transition is the one at 1420 MHz/21 cm.)


The colors of the visible spectrum from highest to lowest engergy level?

The colors of the visible spectrum from highest to lowest energy level are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Violet has the highest energy level, and red has the lowest energy level among the visible colors.


What do all of the different forms of electromagnetic radiation together make up?

All forms of electromagnetic radiation make up the electromagnetic spectrum. This includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of radiation has a different wavelength and energy level.


What color of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest frequency?

The "Balmer Series" includes the visible spectrum of light from hydrogen ... fourwavelengths, 410 nm, 434 nm, 486 nm, and 656 nm, that correspond to emissionsof photons by electrons in excited states transitioning to the quantum level describedby the principal quantum number n equals 2. (There are also a number of ultravioletBalmer lines with wavelengths shorter than 400 nm.)Of the four visible Balmer lines, the one with the longest wavelength ... 656 nm ...is the one with the lowest energy per photon. It appears quite red.


If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?

If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it absorbs energy. This energy is typically in the form of electromagnetic radiation or photons.

What does the radiant energy of electromagnetic waves in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum mean?

Radio waves(:From Rafaelrz: Electromagnetic radiation is the propagation of vibrating electric and magnetic fields in the form of waves. Electromagnetic radiation has wave properties and has a whole series of frequencies. Visible light is only a small part of the whole spectrum ( The electromagnetic radiation spectrum ), from the wavelength of about 0.40 to 0.76 microns. Other radiations that conform this spectrum are; gamma radiation, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, microwaves, radio waves.The term 'radiant energy' or 'radiant heat' is frequently used to refer to 'thermalradiation', which is the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengthfrom about 0.1 to 100 microns. Notice that the spectrum of light lies in the spectrum of thermal radiation.And so this radiation is responsible for heat transferbetween bodies at different temperatures separated by vacuum space (or transparent medium) . This is the radiation mechanism of heat transfer, being the other two important ones conduction and convection.
