What else can I help you with?
What are not detected by telescopes Radio waves sound waves X rays Visible light?
Sound waves are not detected by telescopes, as telescopes are instruments that are designed to detect electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, X rays, and visible light. Sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel through, and can't propagate through the vacuum of space where telescopes operate.
The only waves that are in the spectrum and in the middle are called what?
The waves that fall in the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum are called visible light waves. These waves are the only ones that are visible to the human eye.
The only type of electromagnetic radiation we can see is?
Visible-- waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see.
Does sound waves show polarization property?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means they oscillate in the same direction as their propagation. Therefore, sound waves do not exhibit polarization like transverse waves, such as light waves.
What travels only through matter light waves sound waves or radio waves?
Sound waves can only travel through matter, as they require a medium to propagate. Light waves and radio waves can travel through both matter and empty space.
What wave travels through only matter?
Sound waves. No medium (matter) to carry it, no sound.
What are five different types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Radio waves: Longest wavelength and lowest frequency, used for communication. Microwaves: Shorter than radio waves, used in cooking and communication. Infrared waves: Just beyond visible light, felt as heat, used in remote controls and thermal imaging. Visible light: The only part of the spectrum visible to humans, responsible for our sense of sight. X-rays: Higher energy waves used in medical imaging and security scanning.
Can you see sound or is it only audible?
Sound is not visible to the human eye, it is only audible.
Does only visible light show diffraction?
No, diffraction is not limited to visible light; it occurs with all types of waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves across the entire spectrum, such as radio waves and X-rays. Diffraction happens when waves encounter an obstacle or aperture that is comparable in size to their wavelength, causing them to bend and spread out. This phenomenon can be observed in various contexts, illustrating the wave nature of different types of radiation.
Waves that can travel only through matter?
Sound, water waves, shock waves, etc
Are sound waves and electromagnetic waves radiation?
Broadly speaking, radiation is anything that spreads outward from a central source. In physics, the definition of radiation is constrained to energy that has been emitted from a source, is being transferred through a media, or is propagating through space. This energy can take on the form of particles or waves. Therefore, technically, both sound waves and electromagnetic waves are radiation. However, in practical usage, you would only use the term radiation when referring to electromagnetic waves or radioactive processes. The term, "sound radiation," is rarely, if ever, used.
How much pollution does a electromagnetic wave cause?
Electromagnetic waves only cause sound pollution because they are sound waves.
