What waves has the least amount of energy?

Radio waves have the least amount of energy among the electromagnetic spectrum. They have long wavelengths and low frequencies, making them less energetic compared to other types of waves such as gamma rays or X-rays.


What types of electromagnetic radiation have the least energy?

Radio waves have the least energy among the types of electromagnetic radiation. They have long wavelengths and low frequencies, making them less energetic compared to other forms of radiation such as gamma rays or X-rays.


Why do radio waves have the least amount of energy of all electromagnetic wave lengths?

Radio waves are the longest of the electromagnetic waves. Longer waves have less energy in them than shortwaves do. Some of the really short EM waves are so energetic that you can use them to cook food. (Microwave ovens).


Do gamma rays carry the least amount of energy of the EM waves?

No, the most. Remember, as you go from radio waves to gamma rays across the spectrum, the frequency and energy increases.


What electromagnetic radiation is the least energetic?

Perhaps you mean one of these, I can't tell:Alpha particle radiation: least penetrating ionizing radiation, 100% shielding provided by one sheet of paper.ELF radio: lowest energy radio waves (~0.01Hz), travels long distances and through water. U.S. Navy experimented with it for communicating with Submarines.Red light: Lowest frequency of visible light.Violet light: Shortest wavelength of visible light.Very High Energy Gamma radiation: Shortest wavelength of any known radiation.Anyway, least in what way?

Which energy-level changes for an electron is least energetic?

The transition from one energy level to an adjacent energy level is the least energetic for an electron. This is because the energy difference between the closely spaced energy levels is smaller compared to transitions between energy levels that are further apart.

Which type of radiation in the electronmagnetic spectrum is the least energetic?

The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum. The least energetic type of radiation may be found in what is known as "extremely low frequency" radiation (ELF). This is radiation with a frequency in the range 3-30 Hertz. ELF radiation can penetrate seawater and so is particularly useful for communicating with submarines.


What light carries least amount of energy?

Radio waves carry the least amount of energy among all types of electromagnetic radiation. They have long wavelengths and low frequencies, which correspond to lower energy levels compared to higher frequency waves like gamma rays.


What is the smallest and least energetic path of the electron around a nucleus?

The smallest and least energetic path of an electron around a nucleus is the ground state, or lowest energy level. In this state, the electron occupies its lowest energy orbital closest to the nucleus.
