Long wavelength and a low frequency is what type of radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation
The type of electromagnetic radiation utilized in Microwave ovens is which of the following?
Radio energy, at a frequency of 2.5 GHz.
Are microwaves a type of radio wave?
Microwaves are a frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than radio waves, but has a lower frequency than infrared light.
Which type of radiation in the electronmagnetic spectrum is the least energetic?
The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum. The least energetic type of radiation may be found in what is known as "extremely low frequency" radiation (ELF). This is radiation with a frequency in the range 3-30 Hertz. ELF radiation can penetrate seawater and so is particularly useful for communicating with submarines.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
Long wavelength and a low frequency is what type of radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation
What type of electromagnetic radiation can be diffracted by a hill?
Radio frequency radiation can be defracted by hills.
Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the greatest frequency and lowest wavelength?
What we currently observe as gamma radiation from nuclear events in stars is something like 10 to 100 exahertz. That's about the upper frequency limit of the electromagnetic radiation we know of, and it will have the shortest wavelength (something at or under 30 nano millimeters). It isn't a stretch to imagine frequencies higher than that, but what is it that can generate electromagnetic oscillations in that range?
Are microwaves a type of radio wave?
Microwaves are a frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than radio waves, but has a lower frequency than infrared light.
What greek letter represents a type of high frequency electromagnetic radiation?
Gamma rays. γ rays.
The type of electromagnetic radiation utilized in Microwave ovens is which of the following?
Radio energy, at a frequency of 2.5 GHz.
Type of radiation a radio telescope looks at?
Electromagnetic radiation in the frequency range between roughly 0.5 - 100 GHz.Loosely known as "radio".
What characteristic determines the different kinds of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum?
The distinguishing features between one type of electromagnetic radiation and the other are the frequency and the wavelength (the product of both is the speed of the wave - the speed of light).
Is electromagnetic radiation infrared radiation?
No, not in general. It is rather the other way around. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation, and electromagnetic radiation spans multiple types of radiation, from microwaves, light, infrared, ultraviolet, radio, and more. So electromagnetic radiation could be infrared, but that is just one type of electromagnetic radiation

Why is radiation referred to as electromagnetic?
Though not all radiation is electromagnetic, a lot of it is. Sound, which is mechanical energy, can radiate. It is a type of radiated energy. There are others. But radio waves, microwaves, light, X-rays and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic energy. The only difference is the frequency or energy of the radiation (and we lined them up for you from lower frequency to higher frequency). The universe is awash is electromagnetic energy.
