Does xrays have a lower frequency?

Compared to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays have a high frequency. Only gamma rays have a higher frequency.


What has shorter wavelengths than infrared rays?

Ultraviolet rays have shorter wavelengths than infrared rays. Ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye, while infrared rays have longer wavelengths.


Which type of energy includes visible light xrays and microwaves?

Electromagnetic energy includes visible light, X-rays, and microwaves. These forms of energy are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which encompasses a wide range of electromagnetic waves with varying frequencies and wavelengths.


What wave length of light is the shortest?

Violet is actually the shortest wavelength, as you consider the color spectrum. After blue comes indigo, then violet. So blue is the third shortest. The color spectrum ranges from red to violet, with red being the longest. Naturally, violet would then be the shortest. Of course this goes for human visible wavelengths. Ultraviolet light is shorter in wavelength, but not human visible. Xrays have even shorter wavelengths, but they also are not human visible. Gamma rays are the shortest of all, but again not human visible.


Does Ultraviolet have shorter wavelength than xrays?

No, X-rays have shorter wavelength than ultraviolet light. X-rays have wavelengths in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has wavelengths in the range of 10 to 400 nanometers.

How long are X-ray wavelengths compared with ultraviolet wavelengths?

Ultraviolet photons have wavelengths below 400nm. X-ray photons have wavelengths between 0.01nm - 10nm. Photons with wavelengths smaller than xrays' are called gamma rays.

Is the visible light spectrum between radar waves and xrays?

No, the visible light spectrum falls between infrared and ultraviolet light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar waves have longer wavelengths than visible light, while X-rays have shorter wavelengths.

Do x-rays have a longer wave length than infrared waves?

The wavelength of Xrays is EXTREMELY short compared to microwaves. Wavelengths of xrays are from 10 to .01 nanometres. (10 nanometres is .00000001 metres). Wavelengths of microwaves are usually between 100 and 10 millimetres although they are not clearly defined. This means the wavelength of microwaves is 10 billion times longer than xrays.


Does Ultraviolet have shorter wavelength than xrays?

No, X-rays have shorter wavelength than ultraviolet light. X-rays have wavelengths in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometers, while ultraviolet light has wavelengths in the range of 10 to 400 nanometers.


What is the electro-magetic spectrum?

gamma rays, xrays, uv light, visible light, infra red, microwaves, radio waves


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.
