Ultraviolet radiation has a wavelength between 10 and 400 nanometers. The shorter the wavelength, the more energy each photon contains. To find the frequency, divide the speed of light (299,792,458 metets per second) by the wavelength.

Higher frequencies ultraviolet waves or infrared waves?

Ultraviolet is higher frequency, then visible light, then infrared.


Why does a radio waves carry less energy than an ultraviolet wave?

From the equation E=hv where h= plank's constant v=frequency and ultraviolet waves has more frequency than radio waves hence ultraviolet waves have more energy.


Do ultraviolet waves have a high or low frequency?

That depends what you call "high" or "low". The frequency of ultraviolet waves is higher than that of visible light; lower than that of x-rays.

What is the frequency of ultraviolet waves?

Ultraviolet waves have frequencies ranging from about 7.5 × 10^14 Hz to 3 × 10^16 Hz.


Do am radio waves have a lower frequency then ultra violet radiation?

Radio waves and ultraviolet waves are the same physical phenomenon.The difference is that radio waves have a much greater wavelength.(That's equivalent to saying that they have a much lower frequency.)


How are ultraviolet waves different from violet waves?

Ultraviolet (UV) light has a higher frequency (and a shorter wavelength and shorter period) than violet light. It is more energetic, too. We can't see UV light as our eyes only see up through violet. The shorter wavelengths of the UV light are something we cannot detect with our eyes. We can see (in order of increasing frequency) red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet light. The UV light is outside the range of our vision.


What is the frequency for ultraviolet waves in hertz?

The frequency for ultraviolet waves typically ranges from about 7.5 × 10^14 Hz (the lower end of the UV spectrum) to 3 × 10^16 Hz (the higher end).


What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?

neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves


Radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet rays have longer wavelenghts then visible light?

Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves. Radio frequency waves are a lower frequency, so they have a longer wave length.


Order the types of waves from lowest frequency and wavelength to the highest?

There are many types of waves, but the main ones are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


What is the order from low frequency to high frequency the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum?

The order of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum from low frequency to high frequency is: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
