For electromagnetic waves: thermal radiation and radio waves are pretty long.
For sound waves: bass sound waves are pretty long, so is quiet.
For water waves: the tides
What else can I help you with?
How do the wavelengths absorbed differ from the wavelengths radiated?
The wavelengths absorbed are typically shorter than the wavelengths radiated. Absorbed wavelengths are determined by the energy levels of the absorbing material, while radiated wavelengths are usually determined by the temperature of the object emitting the radiation.
Which wavelengths of light are beyond red and beyond violet?
Beyond red are infrared wavelengths, and beyond violet are ultraviolet wavelengths.
How do wavelengths absorbed by a can difffer from the wavelengths re-radiated from the can?
Wavelengths absorbed by a can depend on the material's properties, such as its composition and thickness. The wavelengths re-radiated from the can are influenced by its temperature—the higher the temperature, the shorter the wavelengths emitted. This difference in absorption and re-radiation wavelengths can be used in applications like thermal imaging to detect temperature variations.
How does the electromagnetic spectrum arrange different types of radiation?
The electromagnetic spectrum arranges different types of radiation based on their wavelengths or frequencies, ranging from high-energy gamma rays and X-rays to mid-range ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared radiation, to low-energy microwaves and radio waves. This arrangement shows the full range of electromagnetic waves, each with unique properties and applications.
What do wavelengths between 360nm and 760nm cause?
Wavelengths between 360nm and 760nm are within the visible spectrum of light, which is responsible for the colors we perceive. Different wavelengths within this range correspond to different colors, with shorter wavelengths appearing as blue/violet and longer wavelengths as red.
Are there different kinds of radiation?
Yes. The different types are determined by their wavelength. We have assigned 7 commonly-used names to the different wavelengths (although within each type, you can get more wavelengths, as it is a continuous scale). The names are, from long wavelengths to short: Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light (the one we can see with our eyes), Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma Ways (γ-rays). Ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays are ionizing, which means they can add or remove electrons from atoms, which can change the way they react. This is why they are dangerous. Infrared, microwaves and radio waves are not ionizing. They have longer wavelengths and less energy. Radio waves can have wavelengths of hundreds of meters, and visible light has wavelengths on the order of nanometers.
How do the wavelengths absorbed differ from the wavelengths radiated?
The wavelengths absorbed are typically shorter than the wavelengths radiated. Absorbed wavelengths are determined by the energy levels of the absorbing material, while radiated wavelengths are usually determined by the temperature of the object emitting the radiation.
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.
What are color wavelengths?
The longest visible wavelengths are red,
How would you describe the wavelengths of incoming solar radiation compared to the wavelengths of reradiated heat?
The wavelengths of incoming solar radiation are shorter than the wavelengths of reradiated heat.
What rhymes with wavelengths?
There are no perfect rhymes for the word wavelengths.
Which wavelengths of light are beyond red and beyond violet?
Beyond red are infrared wavelengths, and beyond violet are ultraviolet wavelengths.
How do wavelengths absorbed by a can difffer from the wavelengths re-radiated from the can?
Wavelengths absorbed by a can depend on the material's properties, such as its composition and thickness.

What kinds of waves have the longest wavelengths?
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths.
What kind of waves the longest wavelengths?
