How are the different types of electromagnetic radiation similar?

Answer 1

all travel at the same speed, speed of light in a vacuum, 2.998x10^8 m/s

they all have magnetic and electrical fiels perpendicular to one another along the propagation of the wave

they all are transverse and so can be polarised

they are all progressive waves and so can transfer energy

they can all be reflected, refracted and diffracted

and finally they all obey velocity=wavelength x frequency

hope that helped

Answer 2

They all are made of photons, travel at the speed of light. They have different frequencies, wavelengths, and energies. The left side has longer wavelengths, lower frequencies, and less energy. The right side has shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies, and greater energies.

Answer 3

They have different frequencies and so they differ by wavelengths. Also the method in which they are produced also differs for different category. X ray is produced by stopping fast moving electrons by a target. Gamma cannot be produced by that method. Microwaves are produced by magnetron device. Infra red rays cannot be produced by magnetron. Radio waves are produced by electronic circuits. X rays cannot be produced by that technique.

Answer 4

The visible light spectrum is a narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, between the infrared spectrum and the ultraviolet spectrum.

The complete electromagnetic spectrum covers frequencies approaching 0 Hz to frequencies approaching infinite Hz. This includes the AM radio band, the shortwave band, the VHF band, the UHF band, the microwave band, the infrared spectrum, the visible light spectrum, the ultraviolet spectrum, x-ray radiation, and gamma ray radiation, in increasing order by frequency.

Answer 5

it is the type of macro organisim called the poopbran! =)
