From shortest to longest wavelength what correctly orders the different categories of electromagnetic radiation?

The correct order from shortest to longest wavelength for the different categories of electromagnetic radiation is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


What is a correct way to measure wavelength?

One correct way to measure wavelength is by using a spectrophotometer or a spectrometer, which can provide precise measurements of the electromagnetic spectrum. Another way is by using diffraction grating or interferometer techniques to determine the distance between wave crests. Finally, wavelength can also be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency.


What is the correct order of the colours of the spectrum?

From longest to shortest wavelength, the colors are:red orange yellow green blue indigo violetThe mnemonic is Roy G. Biv (also Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain)


In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have astronomers been unable to get any information?

We can get information from any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum provided we use the correct "listening" devices; that is the entire range, Radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultra violet, xray, and gamma rays


What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?

The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum

What electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength out of radio waves Infared waves X-rays Ultraviolet light and Gamma Rays?

The shortest on this list is gamma rays.The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:RadioInfra-redUltravioletX-raysGamma rays


Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?

The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays


What is the oppersite of red?

To correct your selling, it is 'opposite', NOT 'oppersite'. Red is a colour at the long wavelength end of the spectrum . So its opposite is Blue a colour that is at the short wavelength ends of the spectrum.


What is another name often used for spectrum?

The visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Which part of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity?

The visible light region of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity. This is the range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to, making it the most prominent part of the spectrum for us.


What is the correct order for the electromagnetic spectrum starting with gamma rays?

Gamma, X-Ray, Ultraviolet, Visible, Infrared, Microwaves, and then Radio waves. (from smallest to largest)

Can a blackbird see ultaviolet color?

The Kestrel can see into the Ultraviolet Spectrum. A human eye can see between 400nm - 700nm ( Visual Wavelengths. ) It is also correct to describe the human eye as being able to see between 4,000 - 7,000 Ångströms; The Ångström is simply another unit of measurement, like nm which = nanometers, on the Electromagnetic Spectrum. The smaller the number, as in 4,000 Ångströms, means that the wavelength is shorter, thus the electromagnetic radiation is of higher energy. As opposed to longer wavelengths such 7,000 Ångströms, which is closer to the Infrared. The Kestrel can image wavelenths as short as 3,000 Ångströms, or in correct notation, 3 x 10-7½


What type of wave does a CT scan use?

The correct answer is x-rays, a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In radiology, x-rays are not seen as waves, but are thought of as photons, a particulate theory.
