What is the basis for subdividing the electromagnetic spectrum into various forms of electromagnetic radiation?
beyatch,
What do all of the different forms of electromagnetic radiation together make up?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum.
How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma ray?
Gamma radiation is the fastest, as it is light. speed of gamma radiation = c (light speed) speed of beta radiation < c ( below light speed ) speed of alpha radiation < c/10 ( far below light speed )
Does solar radiation contain a complete spectrum of all forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes it does. It contains all the forms of radiation, but 99% of its energy is carried by radiation with wavelengths between 278 and 4600 nm, with the maximum at 4720 nm.
Which best describes visible light in relation to other forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Visible light is a small region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is characterized by a specific range of wavelengths and frequencies
When electromagnetic radiation is arranged to wavelength and frequency it forms the?
When electromagnetic radiation is arranged to wavelength and frequency it forms the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the basis for subdividing the electromagnetic spectrum into various forms of electromagnetic radiation?
beyatch,
Why are electromagnetic waves associated with radiation?
All forms of radiation, even hard nuclear radiation, is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What do all of the different forms of electromagnetic radiation together make up?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Does laser belongs to group of radiation?
Technically, yes. A laser is a concentrated beam of monochromatic (usually) light. Given that light itself is considered to be part of the electromagnetic spectrum and that that spectrum is referred to as electromagnetic radiation (as it doesn't need a medium to travel through) then one could deduce that a laser beam is radiation. In addition, gamma radiation also forms part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the arrangement of the forms of electromagnetic radiation according to their wavelengths?
visble spectrum
What are the two main types of light?
Light (electromagnetic radiation) forms a continuous spectrum there are no two main types.
How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma ray?
Gamma radiation is the fastest, as it is light. speed of gamma radiation = c (light speed) speed of beta radiation < c ( below light speed ) speed of alpha radiation < c/10 ( far below light speed )
Does solar radiation contain a complete spectrum of all forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes it does. It contains all the forms of radiation, but 99% of its energy is carried by radiation with wavelengths between 278 and 4600 nm, with the maximum at 4720 nm.
Does electromagnetic contain a spectrum of visible light plus a wide array of non visible forms of radiation?
Yes. Precisely.
Do radio waves and light waves travel at the same speed?
Yes. They're both forms of the same thing, called "electromagnetic radiation". Other forms you may have heard of include heat, microwave, ultraviolet, and X-rays. All the same thing, and travel at the same speed.
What type of wave does not need a medium to travel through?
It is electromagnetic radiation that needs no medium to travel in. Gamma rays, light and radio waves, all forms of electromagnetic radiation, can travel through the vacuum of space very well. In fact, they prefer it.
