It is the different types of waves in light. All waves travel at the same speed which is nearly 300 million m/s.

Anyway:

Radio Waves - longest wavelength, smallest frequency

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible Light

Ultraviolet

X-Ray

Gamma Rays - shortest wavelength, largest frequency

What is eletromagnetic spectrum?

The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. (frequency = wave oscillations per second) Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories: Radiowave Microwave Infrared Visible (light) Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Rays [This list is in increasing order of frequency)


Select the word from the list that best fits the definition the thermal transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space and nbsp evaporation radiation convection condensation?

The word from the list that best fits the definition is "radiation." Radiation is the thermal transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space.

What are the types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing frequency?

The electromanetic spectrum is well explained in any good physics text book. Gamma rays are just one particular frequency per f = c/2piR where R is the radius of the Atom at about 10 to the exponent power of minus 8. Turns out to be an average of c-squared, or about 10 to the 21 cycles per second--which we have no way of directly measuring.

What (types) waves make up the electromagnetic spectrum?

Electormagnetic (EM) waves are all the waves and subsequent wavelengths that make up the Electromagnetic Spectrum. This includes but is not limited to: Radio Waves Infered Waves Visible Light Micro Waves X- Rays If you want a complete list look up the Electromagnetic Spectrum.


What does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum x-ray or sound or infrared ray or radio wave?

Sound does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum as it is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to propagate, unlike x-rays, infrared rays, and radio waves which are forms of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through a vacuum.


How do you Least to greats blue light X-rays microwaves orange light infrared radiation?

From least to greatest energy, the order would be: Infrared radiation < microwaves < blue light < orange light < X-rays This order is based on the electromagnetic spectrum, where the frequency and energy of radiation increase from left to right.


What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?

Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications). X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers. Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light. There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.


What are the different speeds of the electromagnetic spectrum?

In terms of speed, every part of the electromagnetic spectrum, (radio waves, infra-red, ultraviolet), all travel at the same speed in a vacuum, the speed of light, which is 300,000,000 m/s approx. In terms of energy, the low frequency and long wavelength end of the spectrum, such as radio, have a low energy as opposed to the high frequency and short wavelength end, such as gamma rays.


Which form of electromagnetic radiation can be shorter than ultraviolet but longer than gamma rays?

The list of electromagnetic spectrum with an increasing wavelength is given: Gamma rays X rays Ultra violet Visible Infra red Micro waves Radio waves. Now you yourself can pick the needed answer.
