What else can I help you with?
Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?
Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.
What moves faster an x ray or a microwave?
All electromagnetic waves move at the same speed, at least in vacuum. X-rays and microwaves ... as well as radio, infrared, ultraviolet, heat, and visible light ... are all electromagnetic waves, and travel at the same speed.
What is on electromagnetic wave?
An electromagnetic wave consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space. These waves vary in frequency and wavelength, giving rise to the different types of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and X-rays. The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second, which is the speed of light.
What are he things that are true about electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves are a form of energy that can travel through a vacuum. They move at the speed of light. They have both electric and magnetic components that oscillate perpendicular to each other. They include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Absorption of what type of electromagnetic radiation results in electronic transitions?
Absorption of ultraviolet (UV) or visible light results in electronic transitions in atoms or molecules. This energy causes electrons to move to higher energy levels, leading to the absorption of specific wavelengths of light by the substance.
What is a em wave?
An electromagnetic (EM) wave is a form of energy that is created by the vibration of electric and magnetic fields. These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that move through space at the speed of light. EM waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Name two electromagnetic wave use to carry through an optical fiber?
We usually use some form of coherent light wave in fiber optic conduits to move data. That means a laser and the emission of light somewhere at or about optical wavelengths.
Do neutrinos travel at the speed of light, or do they move at a different velocity?
Neutrinos do not travel at the speed of light, but they do move very close to the speed of light.
Energy that can move through a vacuum?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays, can move through a vacuum. This is because electromagnetic radiation does not require a medium to propagate, unlike sound waves which need a medium (like air) to travel through.
What is the propagating wave in space with electric and magnetic components?
That is called an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves include visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves. If both the electric and the magnetic components are standstill (do not move) there will be no propagating waves. The wave will be created if either the electric or the magnetic moves or disturbed. The electromagnetic wave will spread out everywhere on the plane with a frequency perpendicular to its direction. In vacuum, the wave travels at the speed of light. In other mediums, the speed will be less than the speed of light. The wave will spread out uniformly an all direction if the density if the medium in uniform.
What is the ratio of speed of infrared rays and ultraviolet rays in vacuum?
The speed of UV light in a vacuum is the same as visible light, infrared light, radio waves, x-rays, gamma rays, etc.: 299,792,458 m/s. All light in a vacuum has the same speed and it is constant, that's one of the basis of Einstein's relativity and is why the famous equation E=mc^2 works, c being the speed of light in a vacuum.Also, it can be proven that not just light, but anyparticle with no mass has to travel at the speed of light.
Can electrons move slower than the speed of light?
They can ONLY move slower than the speed of light.
