Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?
All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
What is the term for electromagnetic radiation that carries enough energy to remove electrons from matter?
We call that ionizing radiation.
What is the name for dark objects that show more light than pale ones?
If by "light" you mean electromagnetic radiation, then you would call them energy radiators.
What kind of energy is light energy?
Well, you might just put it in a separate category, and call it "light energy". But it is probably better to place it in the broader category of "electromagnetic waves".
Where is some of the light that radiates from a star come from?
I call it star light. Some more erudite folks might refer to it as stellar electromagnetic radiation.
Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?
All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
What do you call energy that travels and spreads out as it goes?
Waves, as in water, or electromagnetic radiation. Even a beam spreads out, due to diffraction.
Wave that can travel through an empty space?
what is a form of energy that travels as waves through the air and some solids and liquids call?
What is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves?
first of all electromagnetic waves are energy waves. and we call electromagnetic waves RADIATION.
How does frequency vary different forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We call light electromagnetic radiation with certain frequencies; higher frequencies and we call it Ultra violet, X-rays and gamma radiation. Frequencies lower than light we call infra red, and radio.
Which travels faster in a vacuum gamma rays or infrared rays?
Neither. In vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation has the same speed, regardless of wavelength. It's the speed we call "the speed of light", but it applies to all of those other electromagnetic phenomena too.
What radiations can humans see?
We detect electromagnetic radiation in a narrow band of frequencies that we call "visible light" with our eyes. We can feel a broader spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that we call "heat". (There are some overlaps.) We can build tools that detect ANY frequency of electromagnetic radiation, and display that in any format we select.
What is the term for electromagnetic radiation that carries enough energy to remove electrons from matter?
We call that ionizing radiation.
How does the sun produce energy and how is it transferred to the earth?
The sun produces energy via nuclear fusion. Electromagnetic energy in the form of light travels through the vacuum of space to reach earth via what we call radiation.
Which type of heat transfer occurs in the form of waves?
It is call radiation heat transfer. The radiation is photon and is the electromagnetic wave.
Is speed a constant for all types of electromagnetic radiation in space?
Yes it is. It's the speed we call the "speed of light", although it applies equally to electromagnetic radiation at all frequencies/wavelengths.
What is electromagnetic radio frequency?
A radiowave is an example of electromagnetic radiation. What most humans call light - what is produced by the sun or a light bulb - is actually called visible light. Visible light is another form of electromagnetic radiation, but with higher energies. Scientists use the word light as a substitue for the whole generalization of every kind of electromagnetic radiation.
