If they're moving through the same substance, all wavelengths have the same speed.
If that wasn't true, then . . .
-- At a concert, you couldn't hear the girl singer's voice at the same time as
the saxes and trombones in the band.
-- As the flag went by you in a parade, it would get all smeared out, like maybe
with the red stripes out in front of the blue stars.
What else can I help you with?
What are the speeds of a long wave light compared to a short wave light?
Long wave light travels at a slower speed than short wave light in a vacuum. This is due to long wave light having a lower frequency and longer wavelength, causing it to interact less with the surrounding medium compared to short wave light.
Is long wave heat radiation given off by the earth when the earth absorbs short wave radiation?
Yes, long-wave heat radiation is given off by the Earth as it absorbs short-wave radiation from the Sun. This process is known as the Earth's energy balance, where incoming solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and later re-emitted as long-wave heat radiation.
What wave would have more enery one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
Does a high wavelength have more energy than a low wavelength?
Your terminologies are inconsistent. Wave lengths are not high and low. They are long and short. Short wave (UHF) radio for example. There are two wave characteristics that can be termed high and low: amplitudes and frequencies. Assuming group S wave characteristics (e.g., water and light beam waves) the higher frequency and higher amplitude waves carry the most energy. Ditto for group P wave characteristics (e.g., seismic waves).
Which carries more energy a wave with short wavelenght or a wave with long wavelenght?
A wave with a shorter wavelength carries more energy than a wave with a longer wavelength. This is because shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies, which means they have more oscillations per unit time, resulting in more energy being transferred by the wave.
What is the primary function of the clear glass of the greenhouse?
the glass allows short wave lengths of radiation to enter, but reduces the amount of long-wave length radiation that escapes
Does wave have a long or short vowel?
The A in wave has a long A vowel sound. The E is silent.

A type of radiation that has long wave lengths?
Radio frequencies have long wave lengths and are technically a form of radiation.You are probably looking for "Far Infrared" though.In order of wave lengthsGama rays (very short)X-raysLightInfrared (like your TV remote control)Far Infrared (like a C02 Laser. 10.6nm)Then there is a band that can't be generated right nowMicrowavesUHV (TV)VHF (TV)RFFYI: There are RF carriers down in the 10 Hz range.
Are longer boards faster that a short board?
Depending on the wave it would have noticeable differences from a short board in terms of "speed". Physics kind of through this one out. More mass plus weight and a larger center of gravity is going to gain more speed at a slower rate, but it's terminal velocity could potentially be higher. For as a smaller object with less mass will reach it's terminal velocity higher but to actually account for which one is "faster" like top speed it's rough to say because there isn't a big enough wave to get up to top speed on a long board. But to answer this in a plain and simple answer. A short board will launch you faster out of a wave then a long board will. Because the short board you hit before the wave starts to break and the short board gets launched and propelled by the way making it go faster then a bigger surf board. So I can't say a long board is faster but I can say a short board will be launched faster and has faster acceleration. Long boarding is laid back for a reason the board goes just slow enough for you to react where as a short board you react on some what instinct. Until you get good enough and have a quick reaction time.
Does wave have a short or long vowel sound?
The A in wave has a long A vowel sound. The E is silent.
What are the three types electromagnetic spectrums?
-- Long-wave radiation -- Medium-wave radiation -- Short-wave radiation
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
Are wave lengths measure from the top of one wave to the next?
yes
What is the distance between corresponding parts of the wave?
It would be its wave lengths!!
What is the distance between two corresponding parts of a wave?
It would be its wave lengths!!
Does your hand emit long or short wave radiation and how do you know?
Long wave radiation in the form of infrared waves. These can be seen with an infrared camera.
