Radio waves typically have long wavelengths ranging from several millimeters to several meters. Their long wavelengths enable them to travel long distances and penetrate obstacles such as buildings, making them useful for communication over long distances.

Are microwaves higher in frequency than short wave radio?

Yes but has shorter wavelength than radiowaves.


Why the rainbow colors arrange like that?

You get it because of the wave length of the waves go from long to short


What is the heating effect of a medium that is transparent to the short wave length radiation of sunlight but opaque to the long wave terrestrial radiation?

ultraviolet rays


If a wave has a low frequency how do you describe the wave length?

The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.


How does an ocean wave change as it moves from deep water to shallow water?

Deep water waves are long in length but short in height. As the wave moves into shallower depths it becomes shorter in length and taller in height.


What is the primary function of the clear glass of the greenhouse?

the glass allows short wave lengths of radiation to enter, but reduces the amount of long-wave length radiation that escapes


What has the lowest frequency short wave or long wave radio?

Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.


Which relation is there between wavelength and height?

There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.


Which carries more energy a wave with short wavelenght or a wave with long wavelenght?

A wave with a shorter wavelength carries more energy than a wave with a longer wavelength. This is because shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies, which means they have more oscillations per unit time, resulting in more energy being transferred by the wave.


Does wave have a long or short vowel?

The A in wave has a long A vowel sound. The E is silent.


Does sound travel in a wave?

yes sound travels in a wave known as the soundwave like many others(radiowaves,microwaves,and heatwaves)


Why wave length of light is very short?

because of the nature of source producing it...
