False. The Sun radiates electromagnetic energy in all parts of the spectrum, not just the tiny sliver that is "visible light". Additionally, the Sun gives off hard radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles, and a considerable "solar wind" of charged atomic nuclei.

Which layer of the sun gives off heat and light?

The layer of the sun that gives off heat and light is the photosphere. It is the visible surface of the sun where most of its energy is emitted as sunlight.


What does it mean when something gives out of light?

Assuming that you mean light in the visible spectrum, it would mean that the thing is giving of radiation that is in the visible light spectrum


Does the flame of the gas stove give light of visible wavelength?

Yes, the flame of a gas stove emits light in the visible spectrum, which is why we can see it. The color of the flame depends on the type of gas being burned and its temperature.


What is a chemical reaction that gives off light inside a living organism called?

Bioluminescence - if it gives of visible light. However heat is also light and metabolism itself therefore gives off light, but you can not see it because it is infrared light.


What type of light gives off all of the colors on the visible spectrum?

White light contains all of the colors in the visible spectrum. Black contains none of these colors.


Which of the suns layers produces its visible light?

The visible light emitted by the Sun originates from the photosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere. This is the layer that we see when we observe the Sun from Earth.


Is red the longest wavelength of light visible to the human eye?

Yes, that's correct.


If you compared the frequencies of UV light an visible light you and rsquod find that the UV light had a smaller frequency.?

UV has a HIGHER frequency than visible light. If you get such results, either you are not measuring the correct light, or something else is wrong with the measurement.


When you turn on a light or other electric appliance you close a circuit?

Yes, turning on a light or electric appliance completes a circuit by allowing current to flow from the power source, through the appliance, and back to the power source. This flow of electrons enables the appliance to function and produce light or perform its intended task.


What means to gives out light?

To give out light means to emit photons or electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum, making an object or source visible to the human eye. Light can be produced naturally (such as sunlight) or artificially (such as light bulbs or LEDs).


What gives off visible light under an ultraviolet light?

Fluorescent materials, phosphorescent materials, and objects containing fluorescent dyes or pigments can emit visible light when exposed to ultraviolet light. This phenomenon occurs as the ultraviolet light excites the molecules within these materials, causing them to re-emit visible light at a longer wavelength.


Which is false statement for EM spectrum - Most is visible light - less than a nanometer to verakilometer - lowest frequencies have least energy?

"Most is visible light" is false. Visible light is but a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Also, "vera" is not a valid SI prefix. Perhaps you mean "tera", which is 1012.
