The electromagnetic wave with a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light is an infrared wave. Infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from approximately 1 millimeter to 750 nanometers. These waves are commonly used in thermal imaging, remote controls, and communication technologies.

In the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by its wavelength?

No, the position of a wave in the electromagnetic spectrum is determined by its wavelength and frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from radio waves with longer wavelengths to gamma rays with shorter wavelengths.


As the wavelength of a wave increases on the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the energy of the wave?

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.


What is the relationship between the frequencies of an electromagnetic wave and its wavelength decreases?

As the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, its wavelength decreases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in the electromagnetic spectrum. Higher frequencies correspond to shorter wavelengths, while lower frequencies correspond to longer wavelengths.


What type of wave is microwave?

"Microwave" is an electromagnetic wave, and is part of the category of radio waves.A radio wave is "microwave" when its frequency is above 3 GHz (wavelength isless than 10 centimeters).Ironically, the "microwave oven" radiates the food with high power radio wavesat a frequency of 2.5 GHz, so technically, it doesn't use 'microwave' energy at all.


As you move from left to right across the electromagnetic spectrum in the image the wavelength becomes?

Shorter. The wavelength of electromagnetic waves decreases as you move from left to right across the spectrum, starting with radio waves and ending with gamma rays.

No. Radar use electromagnetic radiation of a much longer wavelength


Do Radio waves run microwave ovens?

Scientists group electromagnetic waves into categories according to their wavelength. Technically a radio wave has a longer wavelength then a microwave but that's the only fundamental difference. They are both electromagnetic waves.


Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?

Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.

Does longer wavelength mean higher frequency?

No. Longer wavelength means lower frequency.When you multiply wavelength by frequency, the product is always the same.


What is the wavelength range of a microwave?

10 centimeters or less If you mean "microwave oven", those operate at the frequency of 2.45 GHz, where the wavelength is 12.24 centimeters.
