Terahertz (THz) is a unit of measure of frequency that is equal to 1 trillion hertz (1012 Hz) . It usually refers to the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, which is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum invisible to the naked eye that lies in between the microwave and the infrared range.

Between microwaves & infrared The terahertz range refers to electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 100 GHz and 10 THz, or wavelengths between 3 mm and 30 μm . Light between radio waves and infrared has some unique properties. Terahertz can “look inside” plastics and textiles, paper and cardboard.
Read moreIs XRAY low or high frequency?
X-rays are high-frequency , and thus high-energy, electromagnetic radiation. They have wavelengths ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometres, and thus frequencies from 3×1019 to 3×1016 Hz. They are found to reside between ultraviolet radiation and gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Read moreWhat rays have the highest wavelength?
Radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays are all types of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves have the longest wavelength, and gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.
Read moreDo X-rays have high frequency?
X-rays and gamma rays are both types of high energy (high frequency) electromagnetic radiation .
Read moreDo X-rays have high or low energy?
X-rays are a high-energy type of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. X-ray radiation has a much shorter wavelength than visible light, so X-ray photons have much higher energies than photons of light. X-rays lie between ultraviolet “light” and gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum.13 Tem 2005
Read moreWhat is the wavelength of X-rays?
X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum (wavelength is given in angstroms). X-rays have a wavelength in the range of 0.01–10 nm , corresponding to frequencies in the range of 3×1016–3×1019 Hz and energies in the range of 100 eV to 100 keV. They are shorter in wavelength than UV rays and longer than gamma rays.
