The conventional definitions of wavelengths are as follows: * Shortwave band: 3,000 kHz to 30,000 kHz or 3–30 MHz * Medium wave band: generally 530-1700 KHz, used by AM radio stations worldwide * Longwave: 148.5 to 283.5 kHz, used mostly in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, etcetera, for AM radio broadcasting. It can be generalized that longwave is anything below 530 KHz, medium wave is 530 to 1700 KHz, and shortwave is anything from 1700 KHz to 30,000 KHz. A basic calculation for wavelength in meters is 300/F, where F is the frequency in megahertz. Thus a frequency of 30 MHz has a wavelength of 300 / 30 = 10 meters. A more common designation of radio bands is by frequency bands. Here's a PDF chart that shows those designations. http://www.arrl.org/hrlm/additions/2-17.pdf
What else can I help you with?
When a wave has high frequency is the wavelength short or long?
When a wave has high frequency, the wavelength is short. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in waves. A higher frequency means more waves pass a given point in a given time, resulting in shorter wavelengths.
Does gamma rays have a low frequency and a short wavelength?
No, gamma rays have a high frequency and a short wavelength compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light. They are the most energetic and penetrating type of electromagnetic radiation.
Is it possible to draw a high frequency wave with long wavelength?
It depends on what you consider high frequency and long wavelength. However, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice versa. In fact, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
What kind of wavelength does a wave have with a high frequency?
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease, to keep the product constant.
A wave with a low frequency does it have a short wavelength?
The product of (frequency) x (wavelength) is always the same number ... the speedof the wave. So the lower frequencies must have longer wavelengths.
Why are the high frequency waves also referred to as short waves?
high frequency = short wavelength

A wave with a short wavelength will also have a?
High frequency.

Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?
The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.
How would you describe the wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency?
The wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency would be short.
Why does a wave with short wavelenth have a high frequency?
Wave velocity in general = frequency x wavelength As the velocity of the wave remains constant then frequency and wavelength are inversely related So as the wavelength becomes shorter then frequency becomes larger or higher
Does a high- frequency wave have short wavelength?
Yes, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Gamma waves have the shortest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic radiation waves and carry the greatest energy. Radio and TV waves have the longest wavelengths and carry the least energy.
