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.


What wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?

Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.


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.


What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength greater than that of light?

Radio, microwaves, radar, and infrared radiation have.


Would you following has wavelengths longer than the wavelengths of visible light?

Yes, wavelengths longer than visible light include infrared radiation, microwave radiation, and radio waves. Visible light has wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers, while infrared rays can range from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, and microwaves can range from 1 millimeter to 1 meter. Radio waves have even longer wavelengths, exceeding 1 meter.


What has the longer wavelengths light waves or radio waves?

Radio, radio is around 10^3 m and visible light is around .5 *10^-6 m.


What types of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light?

Some types of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light include infrared radiation, microwaves, radio waves, and long-wavelength radio waves. These forms of radiation have wavelengths that are not visible to the human eye but are used in various applications such as remote sensing, communication, and cooking.


What telescope does not use visual light energy?

Radio telescopes and infra-red telescopes operate at longer wavelengths/lower frequencies than visible light. Ultraviolet telescopes operate at shorter wavelengths/higher frequencies than visible light.


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.


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.


Do radio wave microwave and ultraviolet 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.


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.
