An illustration to show the respective wavelengths of electromagnetic waves. There is a transverse wave with really small wavelengths to really long and are listed from smallest to largest are gamma ray, x-rays, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave and radio. Which has the longest wavelength? Which has the highest frequency?

Respuesta :

Radio waves have the longest frequency and gamma rays have the highest frequency

Answer:

1. Which has the longest wave length?

  a. Microwaves

2. which has the highest frequency?

  a. X-Rays

Explanation:

The more spread out the wave is, the longer the wavelength.

The less spread out the wave is, that higher the frequency.

EX: Spread out wave=Low frequency

      Spread out wave=Longer wavelength.

Ex: Compact wave=High frequency

     Compact wave=Shorter wavelength

Ex: Long wavelength=Low frequency

Ex: Short wavelength=High frequency.

The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. So, as the wavelength gets longer, the frequency will get lower. And as the wavelength gets shorter, the frequency will get higher.
