Mell How do the electromagnetic waves are arranged from radio wave to gamma ray in terms of wavelength?
The order of electromagnetic waves in the spectrum is shown in the table below. Radio waves have the lowest frequencies and longest wavelengths, while gamma waves have the highest frequencies and shortest wavelengths.
How are electromagnetic waves grouped?
The waves that form the electromagnetic spectrum are grouped in terms of their wavelength and their frequency. Going from long to short wavelength (or from low to high frequency) the groups are: radio, microwave, infrared, visible light (red to violet), ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.
What is the lowest electromagnetic frequency?
Radio waves
Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies. Radio waves, on the other hand, have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation.
How are the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum arranged?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of all electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength.
How are the charges of an electromagnetic wave created?
Electromagnetic waves are created by oscillating charges (which radiate whenever accelerated) and have the same frequency as the oscillation. Since the electric and magnetic fields in most electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave moves, it is ordinarily a transverse wave.
Which is the only electromagnetic wave we can see?
Visible– waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light. Ultraviolet (UV) light—is radiation with a wavelength
How is the electromagnetic field related to the magnetic field?
The electric field in an electromagnetic wave vibrates with its vectorial force growing stronger and then weaker, pointing in one direction, and then in the other direction, alternating in a sinusoidal pattern (Figure 1). At the same frequency, the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to the electric field.
