The size of the wavelength w determines the energy of the wave. E = hc/w =cp and the Momentum of the wave, p=h/w.

What is electromagnetic's relative wavelength?

The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a wide range of wavelengths, from very long radio waves with wavelengths of kilometers to very short gamma rays with wavelengths less than the size of an atomic nucleus. The specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation depends on the specific type of wave being considered.


What is the comparison between the size of the visible light spectrum and the size of the electromagnetic spectrum?

The visible light spectrum is a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, covering wavelengths from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. The electromagnetic spectrum, on the other hand, includes a much broader range of wavelengths, from gamma rays to radio waves, spanning from very short wavelengths to billions of meters long.


Which electromagnetic wave has wavelengths ranging from the size of a printed period to the length of a pen?

The electromagnetic wave that has wavelengths ranging from the size of a printed period to the length of a pen is the radio wave. Radio waves have wavelengths that can vary from meters to kilometers, making them suitable for a wide range of communication technologies such as radio broadcasting and cell phones.


What size wavelengths do harmull types of electrimagnetic waves typically have?

Harmful types of electromagnetic waves, such as X-rays and gamma rays, have very short wavelengths ranging from 10 picometers to 10 nanometers. These short wavelengths allow them to carry high-energy radiation that can penetrate tissues and cause damage to cells.


Which electromagnetic wave has wavelengths ranging from the size of a printed period to the length of a pen 110-3 to 110-1 meters?

The electromagnetic wave with wavelengths ranging from 10^-3 to 10^-1 meters is in the microwave region of the spectrum. These waves have frequencies between 300 gigahertz and 3 terahertz.

What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength shorter that a single water molecule?

Your comparison attempt is confusing. Water molecules don't have 'waves' by themselves. The ocean has waves, H2O does not. We use the behavior of ocean and sound waves to determine the behavior and makeup of light waves. Humans can only see a portion of the existing electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest.

What type of EMR has the longest wavelength?

A photon is a fundamental or elementary particle and the carrier of the electromagnetic field. In this light (no pun intended) it can be applied to all electromagnetic energy, including radio waves. There wouldn't be a "lowest frequency" of electromagnetic radiation that was not photonic. ---- ...or if there was it would have a wavelength the size of the Universe : ) Couldn't carry a whole lot of data there...


Do the different forms of electromagnetic energy vary in their 1 wavelengths 2 speed 3 particle size 4 ability to pass through space?

You say different forms of EM energy-there is only one form in fact. There is a huge variation in wavelengths (or frequency, the inverse of wavelength), no difference in speed, particle size not relevant, there are no particles, and all EM will pass through space. (The speed is a maximum in a vacuum such as Space, 300,000 km/sec)


How big are infrared waves?

Infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from around 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, making them longer than visible light but shorter than microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum. The size of infrared waves allows them to be used in various applications such as thermal imaging and communication technologies.


What is the wavelength about the size of radio waves?

Radio waves have wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to several kilometers.


What determine the size of waves?

The force and speed of wind will determine how little and big the waves are.
