Do different types of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum share the same properties?

Yes, different types of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum share common properties such as speed, wavelength, and frequency, but they differ in energy and how they interact with matter.


Can waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes?

no they cant they have to be the same they complete each other


Can two waves have the same wavelength but different amplitudes?

Yes, two waves can have the same wavelength but different amplitudes. The wavelength of a wave refers to the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs, while the amplitude is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. Therefore, two waves can have the same distance between peaks but vary in how high or low their peaks are.


If two transverse waves have the same wavelength the wave with the has the greatest wave speed.?

The wave with the greatest frequency will have the greatest wave speed. Wave speed is determined by multiplying wavelength by frequency. If two waves have the same wavelength but different frequencies, the one with the higher frequency will have the higher wave speed.


How do wavelengths of the reflected and transmitted waves compare to the wavelength of the incident wave?

The wavelengths of the reflected and transmitted waves are the same as the wavelength of the incident wave if the waves are traveling in the same medium experiencing the same speed. This is based on the principle of the conservation of wavelength.

Are waves with a shorter wavelength different from those with a longer wavelength?

No, they're all waves, they're all the same!

Cant the frequency of 2 waves with different wave lengths be equal?

Only if their speeds are different.(Wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) = speed of the waveIf the speeds are the same, then different wavelength means different frequency.


Can waves with different wavelength be coherent?

Yes, waves with different wavelengths can be coherent if they have the same frequency and constant phase difference between them. This coherence is important in interference phenomena like Young's double-slit experiment.


2 wave have the same frequency the faster of the two waves will have what?

Wavelength x frequency = velocity, so if the frequency is the same for two waves moving at different velocities, the faster wave must have a longer wavelength.


How the wavelength of waves traveling with the same speed would change if the waves increases?

The wavelength would decrease - in inverse proportion.


What is the electromagnetic spectrum and list the types of radiation?

It is the different types of waves in light. All waves travel at the same speed which is nearly 300 million m/s.Anyway:Radio Waves - longest wavelength, smallest frequencyMicrowavesInfraredVisible LightUltravioletX-RayGamma Rays - shortest wavelength, largest frequency


What can you tell about the speed of two waves that have the same wavelength and frequency?

IF they're both mechanical waves or both electromagnetic waves, AND they'reboth moving through the same stuff, THEN they both have the same speed.
