Consider the following seven types of electromagentic waves: visible light, microwaves, radio waves, gamma rays, infrared, uv and x-rays

a) place the waves in order from shortest wavelength to longest

b)place the waves in order fromm lowest frequency to highest

c) which waves travels with the highest velocity in a vacuum

Expert Solution

after a carefull study of the the table, answers can be obtained easily

part A: wavelength ( shrotest to longest)

gamma > X rays > UV > Visible > infrared> Micro > radio wave

---------------------

part B : frequency ( lowest to greatest)

radio > Micro > Infra > Visible > UV > X rays > Gamma

------------------

part C:

all the em radiations travel with same speed = speed of light

so

Visible = micro = radio = gamma = infra = uv = X rays

The primary difference between infrared and visible light is that infrared travels faster than visible light. they have different amplitudes. infrared does not have a magnetic field associated with its electric field. they have different wavelengths. no materials currently known have the ability to reflect infrared.

Microwaves are a type of radio waves. Microwave ovens typically use microwaves with a wavelength of 12 cm. They are able to heat foods because water molecules absorb the energy of the microwave photons. If you heat a cup of water from 25°C to 100°C, how many microwave photons, on average, hit each molecule of water while it is being heated?

(1) Radio waves and light are electromagnetic waves and transverse waves that can operate in a medium or in space. What is an Aether or ether? Upon which medium does sound travel the fastest? (2) Some scientists think that ether does exist but does exist in another dimension that we cannot see. Can you elaborate on this?

A. What are electromagnetic waves? What is the difference between visible light and other electromagnetic waves that we cannot see? Name four electromagnetic waves that we are not able to see. B- What is the remnant energy of the Big Bang, called Cosmic Microwave Background waves (CMB)? How can we say that the universe is expanding by comparing it to the electromagnetic waves at the time of the Big Bang? C- What is the wavelength of red light and blue...

Light including the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet hits a bunch of hydrogen atoms at nearly 0K. The light is detected after hitting the atoms. Describe the detected light. Considering only transitions that allow the electron to remain bound, determine the longest possible wavelength absorbed. Considering only transitions that allow the electron to remain bound, determine the shortest possible wavelength that could be absorbed. Determine if either of the photons in (b) or (c) are in the visible range.

Select True or False for the following statements about electromagnetic waves. Visible light is often emitted when valence electrons change their state. Gamma rays can be produced in transitions of an atomic nucleus from one state to another. Blue light has a longer wavelength than red. X-rays are produced by a glowing light bulb. The sun's radiation is most intense in the infrared region. Ultraviolet radiation causes common sunburn. A vertical automobile antenna is sensitive to electric fields polarized horizontally.

the speed of gamma radiation is higher than lower than same as visible light
