What else can I help you with?
How much of the visible spectrum is contained in white light?
All of it. White light is the blend of all visible colors.
Why astronomers study radiation beyond the violet end of visible light and beyond the red end of visible light?
Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.
How does the wavelength of the infared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum differ from that of the visible portion of the spectrum?
The wavelength of infrared radiation is longer than that of visible light. Infrared radiation has wavelengths ranging from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, which are longer than the 400-700 nanometer wavelengths of visible light.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum can your eye detect as light?
The human eye can detect a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, known as visible light. This range spans from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength, corresponding to colors we perceive as violet to red.
What is the comparison between the size of the visible light spectrum and the size of the electromagnetic spectrum?
The visible light spectrum is a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, covering wavelengths from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. The electromagnetic spectrum, on the other hand, includes a much broader range of wavelengths, from gamma rays to radio waves, spanning from very short wavelengths to billions of meters long.
What has a higher frequency gamma rays or visible ray?
Gamma rays have a higher frequency than visible light. Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, while visible light falls in the middle range of the spectrum.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum is occupied by visible light?
Visible light occupies a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically wavelengths between approximately 400-700 nanometers. This range corresponds to the colors we see in a rainbow, from violet to red.
Are radar waves too long to be seen?
Yes. The visible spectrum of light is much shorter than the shortest radar (radio) wave.
Why a non luminous flame does not give out much light?
A non-luminous flame does not give out much light because it lacks sufficient heat to excite the molecules in the flame to emit visible light. The flame does not reach a high enough temperature to produce a glowing effect, resulting in minimal light emission.
What is the Scandinavian visible spectrum?
The Scandinavian visible spectrum is the same as the standard visible spectrum found around the world. It includes the range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that are visible to the human eye, typically from approximately 390 to 700 nanometers. This spectrum is responsible for the colors we perceive in our environment.
Are gamma ray used in lasers?
Conventional lasers do not emit gamma radiation. Lasers use electromagnetic waves in the visible spectrum; this is light that you can actually see. Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with much more energy and much higher frequency than visible light.
How is light different then em radiation?
Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Perhaps you mean why is it visible? Many believe this is due to the fact that the Sun's output is much higher at these frequencies therefore we have simply evolved to see the most useful part of the spectrum to us. Other animals such as bees can see more of the spectrum then us reaching into the ultraviolet range which is why some flowers have markings only visible in uv.
