which statement correctly compares radio waves and microwaves?

radio waves have shorter wavelengths and lower frequencies than microwaves.

radio waves have longer wavelengths and higher frequencies than microwaves.

radio waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than microwaves.

radio waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than microwaves.

which statement correctly compares infrared light to ultraviolet light? infrared light has a lower frequency and shorter wavelength than ultraviolet light. infrared light has a higher frequency and longer wavelength than ultraviolet light. infrared light has higher radiant energy but a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet light. infrared light has a lower frequency and longer wavelength than ultraviolet light.

1. Radio waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than microwaves.

2. Infrared light has a lower frequency and longer wavelength than ultraviolet light.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum. electromagnetic waves have electrical and magnetic component associated with them. They all travel with the speed of light.

Radio waves, micro waves, infra red and ultraviolet are all electromagnetic waves.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of the wave follows the equation:

where,

= frequency of the wave

c = speed of light  

= wavelength of the wave

From the above relation, it is visible that wavelength and frequency follow inverse relation. For increase in wavelength, the value of frequency decreases and vice-versa.

Thus, for higher wavelength, the electromagnetic wave will also have lower frequency.
