Electromagnetic radiation is characterised by its frequency. Frequency is measured in Hertz, abbreviated Hz. To a radio man 'high frequency' is in the range 2MHz to 30 MHz.

Other e-m radiation is listed below, lowest frequency first

VHF

UHF

Microwaves

Millimeter waves

Infrared

Visible Light

Ultraviolet

Soft X-rays

Hard X-rays

Gamma rays.

What are the waves that have high frequency also have high?

High frequency waves also have high energy. This means that waves with shorter wavelengths (higher frequency) carry more energy than waves with longer wavelengths (lower frequency). Examples of high frequency, high energy waves include gamma rays and X-rays.


Why are the high frequency waves also referred to as short waves?

high frequency = short wavelength


Which will have more energy a high frequency waves or a low-frequency wave?

High frequency waves will have more energy than low-frequency waves. This is because energy is directly proportional to frequency in waves - the higher the frequency, the higher the energy.


If wave amplitudes are equal will high-frequency waves carry more or less energy than low-frequency waves?

if wave amplitudes are equal ,will high frequency waves carry more or less energy than low frequency waves


What depend on the frequency on the sound waves?

Pitch


A high pitch always corresponds to?

high frequency


Are high frequency waves close together or far apart?

High frequency waves are close together. This means that the waves have a short wavelength, and they oscillate rapidly. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency of the wave.


Does a high pitch sound result from low frequency waves?

No, a high pitch sound is typically associated with high-frequency waves, while low pitch sounds usually result from low-frequency waves. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, with higher frequencies corresponding to higher pitches.


What is high and low frequency?

High frequency refers to events that occur frequently, such as daily or hourly, while low frequency refers to events that occur infrequently, such as monthly or yearly. In terms of waves or signals, high frequency refers to waves that oscillate rapidly (e.g. radio waves), while low frequency refers to waves that oscillate slowly (e.g. sound waves).


How can you tell by looking at it if a wave has high or low frequency?

High-frequency waves have more waves packed into the same distance compared to low-frequency waves, with shorter distances between wave crests. So, a high-frequency wave appears to have more waves in a given space, while a low-frequency wave looks more stretched out with fewer waves in the same space.


What is the order from low frequency to high frequency the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum?

The order of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum from low frequency to high frequency is: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


Does A high-pitched sound result from low frequency waves?

high pitch is high frequency, low pitch is low frequency
