Yes. You can make that statement confidently, without equivocation or qualification,
and with no fear of contradiction or debate. And once stated, you can hang your hat
on it, and take it to the bank. It is true, and if any evildoer tries to tell you that it isn't,
then you are duty-bound to question his motives, at least sureptitiously.

∙ 11y agoBecause "X-ray" is the name that Konrad Roentgen gave to the waves he discovered,
which turned out to be shorter than ultraviolet but longer than gamma rays, and the
name stuck. If those same waves were longer, they would not be called 'X-rays'.

What is the ascending order of the eight electromagnetic spectrum waves base from their wavelength?
Shortest wavelength is gamma rays. Next longer wavelength is with Xrays. Then Ultraviolet, visible radiations, infra red, microwaves, radio waves with shorter wavelength and radio waves with longer wavelength
Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?
Longer.
Order the types of waves from lowest frequency and wavelength to the highest?
There are many types of waves, but the main ones are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
What waves have the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays are the waves with the shortest wavelength. The waves having highest frequency have the shortest wavelength. As gamma rays have the highest frequency starting from 10^19 and onwards so they have the shortest wavelength starting from 10^-11 and decreasing.
How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.

ultraviolet waves
What type of radiation has the shortest wavelength of radio waves or cosmic rays or ultraviolet light or infrared light?
X-rays have the shortest wavelength of those listed.
Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?
Longer.

How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?
IR waves are longer than UV waves.
How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.
What waves have the shortest wavelength in the highest frequency?
Gamma waves
How can yellow light ultraviolet waves and xrays be described?
they are electromagnetic. So they have an electromagnetic spectrum.
What waves have the shortest wavelength and the?
Gamma rays
How does the wavelength of infared(IR) compared with the wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) waves?
