Electromagnetic spectrum is the range of wavellengths of different radiations reflected or emitted by objects with temperature above 0 k. Remote sensing technology make use of such radiations of certain wavelength in EM spectrum to distinguish different objects as different object radiates differently.

∙ 11y agoThe electromagnetic spectrum consists of Radiowaves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-Ray and gamma rays.
X-Rays are used to look inside the human body to check for many different abnomalities. e.g. broken/fractures bones, renal/kidney stones.
Radiographers have now started using gamma rays to help with producing images which can help to diagnose the patient and therefore treat them. Ultraviolet has been used in ultrasound, this helps the field of gynaecology.
Hope this helps!

Which best explains the relationship the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
Which best explains the relationship between the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum can your eye detect as light?
visible light
What property determines a visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum?
The property that when it enters your eye, you know it.
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye is known as?
The (not surprising) name is "visible light."
What properties does visible light have in common with the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is a subset of the electromagnetic spectrum. Starting at the longest wavelengths (lowest frequencies), the electromagnetic spectum includes:Radio wavesMicrowavesInfra-redVisible lightUltravioletX-raysGamma raysRefer to the related link below for additional informaiton.
Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through air?
Yes. Electromagnetic spectrum waves reach your eye through the air.
What does the spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum do?
I suppose you mean the visible spectrum, only a small part of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The visible spectrum is basically all of the colors the human eye can detect.
Which best explains the relationship the electromagnetic spectrum and sight?
Visible light and infrared light are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen with the eye.
How is the electromagnetic and visible spectrum related?
The visible spectrum is one band within the full range of electromagnetic radiation.

How much of the electromagnetic spectrum can your eye detect as light?
visible light
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can the human eye detect?
VIsual light
How can the electromagnetic spectrum be used to explain the human eye's detection of color?
ultraviolet light
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is detectable by human eye?
Gamma rays and visible light.
What is the range of light called?
The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
What matches with radiant heat on the electromagnetic spectrum?
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that produces radiant energy is sometimes referred to as electromagnetic waves. It is not visible to the human eye.
