You actually know more about it than you may think! The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is just a name that scientists give a bunch of types of radiation when they want to talk about them as a group. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes-- visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. Other examples of EM radiation are microwaves, infrared and ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays. Hotter, more energetic objects and events create higher energy radiation than cool objects. Only extremely hot objects or particles moving at very high velocities can create high-energy radiation like X-rays and gamma-rays.
What else can I help you with?
Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through air?
Yes. Electromagnetic spectrum waves reach your eye through the air.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the most energy?
The waves with higher frequencies have more energy and the gamma rays have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum
What does a elctromagnetic spectrum do?
Type your answer here...The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.The electromagnetic spectrum extends from low frequencies used for modern radio to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom. The long wavelength limit is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous.
What is the range of light called?
The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
Is orange light a type of electromagnetic radiation?
yes, it's between red and yellow waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What does a electromagnetic spectrum contain of?
what does an electromagnetic spectrum consist of
What is the entire electromagnetic spectrum frequencies called?
The entire electromagnetic spectrum frequencies, from the lowest to the highest frequencies, are collectively called the electromagnetic spectrum.
is the the visible spectrum occupies most of the electromagnetic and sonar spectrum?
The visible spectrum is a tiny, almost negligible slice of the electromagnetic spectrum. 'Sonar' has no place in this discussion. It's not even electromagnetic.
The electromagnetic spectrum includes what?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes electromagnetic waves with a continuous flow of the wavelength.
Which wave has the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the lowest energy?
Radio waves have the lowest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum.
In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the resonant frequency of electrons in glass?
The resonant frequency of electrons in glass corresponds to the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What region of the electromagnetic spectrum is 1100nm?
1100nm is in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This region is just beyond the visible spectrum of light that the human eye can detect.
How is light classified in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Light is classified in the electromagnetic spectrum as a form of electromagnetic radiation that falls within the visible spectrum, which is the range of wavelengths that can be detected by the human eye.
Is water part of the eletromagnetic spectrum?
No, The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.
What does the spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum do?
I suppose you mean the visible spectrum, only a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is basically all of the colors the human eye can detect.
