Best Answer

Those are the ones with the highest frequency/shortest wavelength/most energy per photon.

Most . . . gamma rays

Next most . . . X-rays

.

.

.

Least . . . low-frequency radio waves

Where is wifi on the electromagnetic spectrum?

electromagnetic spectrum is the group of all possible frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation


Does laser belongs to group of radiation?

Technically, yes. A laser is a concentrated beam of monochromatic (usually) light. Given that light itself is considered to be part of the electromagnetic spectrum and that that spectrum is referred to as electromagnetic radiation (as it doesn't need a medium to travel through) then one could deduce that a laser beam is radiation. In addition, gamma radiation also forms part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What is ment by spectrum?

A spectrum can take many forms. It usually means a range or group of things. For example... White light is split into the spectrum of colours by a prism. Radio waves form a small part of the electro-magnetic spectrum.


Which electromagnetic waves have the lowest frequencies?

"radio" there is no real lower limit (in theory).


What best describes a spectrum?

A spectrum is a band of seven colors obtained after white light is split. This can be understood by the fact that if a white light (sunlight) is passed through a prism and allowed to fall on a white screen, the seven split colors can be seen. The arrangement of the colors are in the order: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. This arranged group of colors is called a spectrum. A rainbow is an example of a natural spectrum This also may help you remember the order of the colours in the spectrum- R(red) O(orange) Y(YELLOW) G.(green) B(blue) I(indigo) V(violet) Roy G. Biv\ you can also remember it as: (R)ead (O)ur (Y)ellow (G)rafic (B)ecause (I)t's (V)ictorious

What are spectrums of light?

Light is a range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. This is the same stuff that makes radio frequencies, X-rays, microwaves (like the ones used to heat food). The range or group of frequencies that make up visible light plus ultraviolet and infrared light are referred to the visual spectrum. The others are the radio spectrum, the microwave spectrum, etc.
