There are radio waves with a wavelength of 1000 m, microwaves with a wavelength of 0.01 m, then comes infrared light of 10-5 m, visible light of 5*10-6 m, ultraviolet light of 10-8 m, x-rays of 10-10 m and finally gamma rays of 10-12 m in wavelength.

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)


Which electromagnetic wave has the highest energy?

Gamma radiation is the name some energetic radiation.

Energy that travels by radiation is often called what?

When we use the term "radiation" as regards energy, probably the first thing that comes to mind is electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic (EM) energy is often called electromagnetic radiation. We know that this could be radio waves, microwave energy, infrared light, light from the visual spectrum, ultraviolet light, X-rays or gamma rays. All of these are forms of electromagnetic radiation, and a link can be found below for more information.Radiant energy.

Is infrared radiation part of the electromagnetic radiation?

Yes it is. Infrared is the same physical phenomenon as radio, light, and microwaves. The only difference among them is their wavelengths (frequencies). Infrared is our name for electromagnetic radiation with wavelength just longer than red light ... long enough so that our eyes don't respond to it.

Are waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays?

Yes, gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation within the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies among all types of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are produced by certain nuclear reactions and radioactive decay processes.

What is a gammaray?

"Gamma ray" is the name we give to electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelengths, the highest frequencies, and photons with the highest energies. It's the category of radiation past X-rays, and more penetrating and dangerous to living tissues than X-rays are.


What is the EM spectrum?

The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the entire range of frequencies that electromagnetic radiation can have. The EM spectrum is divided into sections based on the common characteristics that certain frequency ranges have. These sections are, in order from low to high frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light (which from low to high frequency is further divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. You can think of the EM spectrum as an invisible rainbow with visible light being a small part of it. And, like a rainbow, the edges of the divided sections are blurry; i.e. there is no exact frequency where one can say, for example, that this wave is no longer an X-ray, but is instead a gamma ray. it is waves of light in order of their wavelengths and frequencies APEX: A chart of frequencies of light waves.
