When describing electromagnetic radiation there is a(n) relationship between wavelength and frequency and the greater the frequency the energy the electromagnetic radiation has. A) direct less B) dire?

The relationship between wavelength and frequency in electromagnetic radiation is inverse - shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies. Higher frequency radiation carries more energy, as energy is directly proportional to frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.


When describing electromagnetic radiation there is a(n) relationship between wavelength and frequency and the greater the frequency the energy the electromagnetic radiation has.?

Electromagnetic radiation consists of waves with different wavelengths and frequencies. The frequency and energy of electromagnetic radiation are directly proportional—higher frequency waves have higher energy. This relationship is described by the formula E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency.


Does uv radiation have a greater frequency than violet light?

No, violet light has a higher frequency than UV radiation. UV radiation falls in the electromagnetic spectrum with shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than the visible light spectrum.


Does uv radiation have a greater frequency then violet light?

Yes, ultraviolet (UV) radiation has a higher frequency than violet light. UV radiation has wavelengths shorter than those of visible light, including violet light, which means it has a higher frequency. UV radiation is categorized into three types: UVA, UVB, and UVC, with UVC having the highest frequency among the three.


What is the electric charge of gamma radiation?

Gamma radiation is simple a very high-frequency form of electromagnetic radiation (essentially, a high-frequency form of light which is invisible to the human eye). As such it carries no electric charge; it is neutral.

What types of radiation has the highest frequency?

In the electromagnetic spectrum Gamma radiation has the highest frequency.


Why for a particular metal electrons are emitted only when the frequency of the incident radiation is greater than a certain value?

Electrons are emitted from a metal surface when the energy of the incident photons is great enough to overcome the work function of the metal. This minimum energy required is equivalent to a certain threshold frequency, known as the threshold frequency. Electrons can only be emitted when the frequency of the incident radiation is greater than this threshold frequency because lower frequency photons do not possess enough energy to overcome the work function and release electrons from the metal surface.


What is the link between energy and frequency for electromagnetic radiation?

The higher the frequency, the greater the electromagnetic energy. High-frequency gamma rays are the most energetic form of radiation (and the most dangerous to human health), followed by X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared (heat), and finally radio waves. Microwaves are actually a form of radio waves in the near-infrared. What makes them so apparently energetic (and therefore so useful) is that their particular frequency is great at making water molecules vibrate, which imparts heat energy directly into food in a process known as dielectric heating. E=hv Where E is energy h is planks constant v is the frequency of the EMr


What form of radiation can be shielded by earths atmosphere?

The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.


What is meant by the frequency of radiation?

The frequency of radiation refers to the number of wave cycles that pass a given point in one second. It is closely related to the energy of the radiation, with higher frequency radiation having higher energy levels. Radiation with higher frequency can be more harmful to living organisms.
