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.

Can you study visible light using a radio telescope explain your answer?

No, a radio telescope is designed to detect radio waves, which have much longer wavelengths than visible light. Visible light cannot be studied using a radio telescope as it operates in a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum. To study visible light, astronomers typically use optical telescopes.


How does the speed of a radio compare to the speed of visible light?

Radio waves and light are the same exact physical phenomenon, and differ only in their wavelength (frequency). Their speeds are identical.


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.


Who have longer wavelengths visible light or radio waves?

The longest radio wave used for communication is around 3 millimeters long. The shortest visible wavelength of light is around 0.0004 millimeters long.


Why does electromagentic radiation include only visible light?

That would be a very difficult thing to explain, because it doesn't. Electromagnetic radiation includes a wide variety of other things in addition to visible light, such as radio waves and X-rays.


Can you study visible light using a radio telescope?

No.


Does visible light have a higher frequency then radio waves?

Definitely. The highest radio frequency is around 300 GHz, whereas the lowest visible frequency is around 400,000 GHz.


Why are radio telescopes not located on top of mountains like the visible light telescopes?

It is not necessary to do so, as atmosphere doesn't distort radio signals as much as visible light.


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.


How does the speed of light compare to the speed of radio waves?

light travels faster than radio wavws


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.


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.
