What type of word describes the electromagnet waves with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
Shorter wavelengths means higher frequency, and electromagnetic waves with higher energy. Beyond the blue end of the visible light you have ultraviolet rays; X-rays; and gamma-rays, in that order.
What are the three wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
There are an infinite number of wavelengths above visible, below visible, and within visible. Since reality has infinite resolution, we can imagine varying the wavelength with infinite division. To call out bands of wavelength: Ultraviolet, X-rays, & Gamma rays.
What happens when light has higher frequency?
Light, or any kind of wave thing, has shorter wavelengths when its frequency is higher than it has when its frequency is lower.
What are the differences between xray and visible light?
The X-rays have shorter wavelengths ... shorter than the shortest wave to which the eye responds.
Are the wavelengths of high frequency sounds short or long?
Shorter the wavelength higher the frequency so naturally high frequency soundwaves are short

Which frequency of electromagnetism has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light?
Ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays do.
Does Infra red or yellow light have a higher frequency?
No, infrared radiation (IR) does not have a higher frequency than visible light. Visible light is above IR on the electromagnetic spectrum. It (visible light) has higher frequency and shorter wavelengths than IR radiation does.

How are high-frequency sounds different from low-frequency?
Their wavelengths are shorter, and they are perceived as having higher pitch.
What waves the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency?
I'll answer your question for a variety of waves. For sound waves, higher pitch sounds have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For water waves, the slowest moving waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths. For seismic waves, S waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than P waves. For electromagnetic waves, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than, say, visible light. For quantum mechanical, de Broglie waves, particles with classical analogues of momentum have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than individual particles.
Do higher-pithed sounds have shorter wavelengths?
yes. Frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
What are the differences between xray and visible light?
The X-rays have shorter wavelengths ... shorter than the shortest wave to which the eye responds.
Do waves with a shorter wavelengths travel faster than waves with longer wavelengths?
The physical length, short wavelengths are shorter than long wavelengthsThe frequency, short wavelengths are higher frequency than long wavelengthsThe energy per photon, short wavelengths have more energy per photon than long wavelengths
Who is wavelenght is longer visible light or ultraviolet light?
Visible light. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.
