There are many types of waves, but the main ones are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.

What is the relationship of color of light and frequency?

Each colour of visible light has a different frequency. Red has the lowest frequency, meaning it has a long wavelength. Purple has the highest frequency and has a very short wavelength. The order is: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. I hope this helps you!


What are seven types of em waves?

The seven types of electromagnetic waves, in order of increasing frequency, are radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of wave has a unique wavelength and frequency, with radio waves having the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


What is the rank of waves in order of highest energy to lowest energy based on amplitude and frequency?

The rank of waves from highest energy to lowest energy is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves. This ranking is based on the waves' amplitude and frequency, with higher frequency and lower wavelength corresponding to higher energy.


How is color related to frequency and wave land?

As far as visible light is concerned violet has highest frequency and shortest wavelength where as red has lowest frequency and so longest wavelength VIBGYOR is the order of colours in the visible spectrum


How does the frequency of a gamma wave change as the wavelength decreases?

For any electromagnetic wave, from the highest gamma wave to the lowest radiowave, the product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the 'speed of light'in whatever substance the waves happen to be waving along at the moment.So if the wavelength of any of them should decrease, for whatever reason, itsfrequency would have to increase, in order to keep the product constant.

Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?

The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.

Which type of em spectrum has the order highest to the lowest wavelength?

The electromagnetic spectrum, from highest to lowest wavelength, is ordered as follows: Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet (UV) light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.


What are the colors of the visible spectrum in order of inceasing frequency?

The colors of the visible spectrum, in order of increasing frequency, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Red has the lowest frequency, while violet has the highest. This spectrum is often remembered by the acronym ROYGBIV. Each color corresponds to a specific wavelength of light, with red having the longest and violet the shortest.

If a waves frequency doubles it's wavelength is?

Halved. The wavelength and frequency of a wave are inversely proportional, meaning that if the frequency doubles, the wavelength is halved in order to maintain a constant wave speed.
