The following list is the "Electromagnetic Spectrum" in order of increasing wavelength and subsequently, decreasing frequency. Gamma Rays-wavelength: 0.01 nm X-rays -1 nm Ultra-violet Rays-0.1 micrometres Visible Light- Red light: 0.7 micrometres - Violet Light: 0.4 micrometres Infrared Radiation- 0.01 mm Microwaves-less than 10 cm, usually 1cm Radiowaves- Long, Medium and Short Waves:2km-10m -Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF): 10m-10cm Posted By: Bahar B.H.

Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?

Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.


Where is the visible light in the EM spectrum?

between 400 nm and 700 nm


EM wavelengths range from less than a nanometer to over a kilometer?

Gamma rays down to Radio waves, basically the entire EM spectrum.


Where is the cosmic rays radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?

Cosmic rays are not part of the EM spectrum -- they are high energy charged particles.


What is the electromagnetic spectrum.?

The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the entire range of frequencies that electromagnetic radiation can have. The EM spectrum is divided into sections based on the common characteristics that certain frequency ranges have. These sections are, in order from low to high frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light (which from low to high frequency is further divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. You can think of the EM spectrum as an invisible rainbow with visible light being a small part of it. And, like a rainbow, the edges of the divided sections are blurry; i.e. there is no exact frequency where one can say, for example, that this wave is no longer an X-ray, but is instead a gamma ray. it is waves of light in order of their wavelengths and frequencies APEX: A chart of frequencies of light waves.

The categories of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, in the ascending order of their frequencies are:RadioMicrowaveInfraredVisibleUltravioletX-rayGammaHence, Radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelengths while Gamma rays have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelengths.(check related link for an image)


What to properties of EM waves change from one end of the EM spectrum to the other?

Wavelength and frequency :)


What are the primary em spectrum colors?

The primary EM spectrum colors are red, green, and blue. These colors can be combined in different ways to create all the other colors we see in the visible spectrum.


What is the relationship between an EM waves wavelength and its location on the EM spectrum?

The EM spectrum is a chart of electromagnetic radiation, arranged by wave length. The chart may be arranged in ascending or descending order.Related Information:The charts could begin with radio waves, having the longest wavelength, and end with gamma rays, having the shortest wavelength or the order could be reversed.

Where is wave located on the em spectrum?

Waves are a broad category on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. They differ from each other in terms of their wavelength and frequency.


The range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order is called the?

Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,and gamma rays.


What is the basis of arrangement of EM waves in the spectrum?

Electromagnetic (EM) waves are arranged in the spectrum based on their wavelength or frequency. From longest to shortest wavelength/frequency, the EM spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. This arrangement is important because each region of the spectrum has unique properties and interactions with matter.


What are the waves in the EM spectrum?

Radio waves are the longest lengthwise.


What member of the em spectrum has the highest frequecy?

Gamma rays
