Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the electromagnetic spectrum, which organizes electromagnetic radiation by wavelength and frequency.
Understand that wavelength (\( \lambda \)) and frequency (\( \nu \)) are inversely related by the equation:
\[ \lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} \]
where \( c \) is the speed of light.
Identify the types of electromagnetic radiation listed: radio waves, X-rays, ultraviolet light, and gamma rays.
Know that radio waves have the lowest frequency and therefore the longest wavelength, while gamma rays have the highest frequency and shortest wavelength.
Conclude that among the options, radio waves have the longest wavelengths.
