wavelength = speed of light (c) / frequency\n\nTypical frequency values for your examples are:\n\nMicrowave: 10^9Hz\nX-Rays: 10^17Hz\nRadio: 10^7Hz\nInfrared: 10^13Hz\n\nTherefore X-Rays have clearly the highest frequency, (and hence the shortest wavelength.)

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible electromagnetic radiation. Also, the "electromagnetic spectrum" (usually just spectrum) of an object is the range of electromagnetic radiation that it emits, reflects, or transmits.\n\nThe electromagnetic spectrum, shown in the table, extends from frequencies used in the electric power grid (at the long-wavelength end) to gamma radiation (at the short-wavelength end), covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometres down to fractions of the size of an atom. It is commonly said that EM waves beyond these limits are uncommon, although this is not actually true. The 22-year sunspot cycle, for instance, produces radiation with a period of 22 years, or a frequency of 1.4*10-9 Hz. At the other extreme, photons of arbitrarily high frequency may be produced by colliding electrons with positrons at appropriate energy. 1024 Hz photons can be produced today with man-made accelerators. In our universe the short wavelength limit is likely to be the Planck length, and the long wavelength limit the size of the universe itself (see cosmology), though in principle the spectrum is infinite.

The RF waves emanating from an antenna are generated by the movement of electrical charges in the antenna. Electromagnetic waves can be characterized by a wavelength and a frequency. The wavelength is the distance covered by one complete cycle of the electromagnetic wave, while the frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves passing a given point in one second. The frequency of an RF signal is usually expressed in terms of a unit called the "hertz" (abbreviated "Hz"). One Hz equals one cycle per second. One megahertz ("MHz") equals one million cycles per second.

All the waves you have mentioned, are electomagnetic waves. They differ in their frequency, this means, their energy. Therefore, you cannot have a radio wave the same frequency as a visible wave, its one or the other, the frequency will indicate if its radio, infrared, visible and so on. The differnt frequencies gives them their particular properties. All of them travel at the same speed.

All light (or more technically, electromagnetic radiation) is waves.  Light waves have different frequencies.  Ultraviolet light waves have a frequency higher than light waves in the visible spectrum (the frequencies humans can see).  Infrared light waves have a freqency lower than light waves.  The terms come from the fact that violet has the highest frequency in the visible spectrum, and red the lowest.

Electromagnetic Radiation\n\nElectromagnetic radiation is the result of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. The wave of energy generated by such vibrations moves through space at the speed of light. And well it should... for visible light is indeed one form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation.

C- longer wavelength.  Red is the long (low fequency) end of the spectrum, and violet is at the short end (high frequency).

velocity = frequency*wavelength. velocity is constant, therefore decreasing the wavelength will increase the frequency.\n\nFor a photon E = hf (h = planck's constant, f = frequency) so a higher frequency will produce higher energy.

The frequency of light and its wavelength have an inverse relationship.  As the frequency of light increases, the wavelength decreases.\nThe frequency is the number of 'cycles' per unit time, and the wavelength is how far the wave propagates in that same time.  At a constant speed, the shorter the higher the frequency (very short time durations between cycles), the smaller the wavelength.\n\nThe energy contained within a single photon of light is given by Planck's equation,\nE = hv\nwhere E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and v is the frequency of light.\nThe equation can be re-written as,\nE = h * c / lambda\nWhere c is the speed of light in a vacuum, and lambda is the wavelength of light.\n\nYou can see that as the frequency of the light increases (or when the wavelength decreases), the energy contained within a photon of light increases.  The higher the frequency of light, the more energy the light carries.  For example, high frequency X-rays carry much more energy than low frequency radio waves.\n\nh = 6.626 E-34 J s

Electromagnetic radiations or waves are propagating in space. Electromagnetic waves have electric and magnetic components, the electric field and the magnetic field oscillate at right angles to each other and to the direction of propagation.\nAs any other waves e.m. waves are characterized with  frequency (number of vibrations in one second), wavelenght (the distance from one crest to the next crest in the sinus wave) and radiant energy. \nThe range of the e.m. waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The highest frecvency and energy / the lowest wavelenght e.m. radiations are gamma rays (are shorter than the size of the nucleus in the atom) then X rays, ultraviolet radiations, visible light, infrared radiation (heat radiation), microwaves, and radiowaves which has the lowest frequency and longest wavelenght (can be several km long). We can see only the visible light, the other e.m. radiations are invisible to us. But they can have an effect on our organism. They have a lot of technical, medical and other use.\n\nfor more see >>\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

Some properties of the electromagnetic spectrum is that all waves in this spectrum travel at the speed of light.  The spectrum varies by wavelength and also energy, from gamma rays -> xrays ->ultraviolet ->visible light -> infared ->microwave ->radio.  with gamma having the highest energy with the smallest wavelength and radio having the lowest energy with the largest wavelength.  \n\nHope this helps

UV carries more energy than infrared. UV has the highest frequency. \nUV is not the cause for globalwarming. As the atmosphere gets more and more CO2 it will trap more infrared light coming from earth. CO2 is the cause for globl warming. \nThe infrared radiation from earth is the radiation it emitts as the surface absorbs light from all other frequencies, including UV, although not alot of UV reaches the surface. Instead it is absorbed by the ozonelayer. That means it gets hot up there but that heat (or infrared light) doesn´t make it down to the surface. Instead it is radiated off into space.

wavelength * frequency = wavespeed.\n\nIn this case, the wavespeed is the speed of propagation of electromagnetic radiation (i.e., the speed of light).  We'll assume the question is asking for the wavelength of these waves in air.  The difference between the speed of light in air and the speed of light in a vacuum is negligible, so we can let the wavespeed = 2.998*10^8 m/sec.  We are told the frequency is 99.1*10^6 Hz (1 Hz = 1 sec^-1) so:\n\nwavelength = (2.998 *10^8 m/sec)/(99.1*10^6 sec^-1)\nwavelength = 3.025 meters
