How much of the electromagnetic spectrum is occupied by visible light?
Between 400nm and 700nm
Why is it useful to examine the universe using parts of the electromagnetic spectrum other than visible light?
Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum give different types of information.Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum give different types of information.Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum give different types of information.Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum give different types of information.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum does visible wavelengths makes up?
In the full spectrum, humans can only see 3% of the rays. Other animals can say more, some scientists predict cats see 20% of the spectrum.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum of fire?
During a flame test the electrons of the metal tested absorb some of the heat and jump to a higher energy level. The electrons then settle back to a lower, mosre stable level, releasing the energy as light of a given wavelength.
Our eyes detect wavelengths as what?
The eyes of all seeing animals are restricted to a narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths from about 400 to 700 nm (nanometers). Within this range, not all animals can distinguish between different colors; some see in shades of grey. A healthy human eye, which does distinguish between different colors, normally detects wavelengths from 390 nm (violet) to 750 nm (red). Some animals can detect wavelengths slightly into the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, i.e. wavelengths shorter than 390 nm, that humans cannot detect. Colors that are visible to humans run from violet through blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, and finally red. Brown is a mix of red, yellow, and blue. White is a mix of all the colors at once. Black is not a color, but the lack of color because a black surface absorbs light without reflecting much of it back.

How does the wavelength of the infared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum differ from that of the visible portion of the spectrum?
I have no clue Laugh out loud
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 much of the electromagnetic spectrum in contained in white light?
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object. The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below frequencies used for modern radio through to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom. The long wavelength limit is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous. EM radiation with a wavelength between 380 nm and 760 nm (790-400 terahertz) is detected by the human eye and perceived as visible light. So only a very small portion of the entire spectrum is visible.
What is a radio wave?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves. The radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. A radio wave has a much longer wavelength than does visible light. We use radio waves extensively for communications.

Do electromagnetic waves have too much energy to be refracted?
No. Light is an example of an electromagnetic wave.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does night vision lie?
The question is a lot like asking "What is the frequency of hearing ?", or "How fast is speed ?", or "How much does money cost ?". "Night vision" is the sensitivity of the human eye to extremely low light conditions, or the use of optical and electronic devices to render an invisible scene in visible wavelengths. It's not a type of radiation that can be located on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
How much of the electromagnect spectrum is visible light?
its hey
What types of electromagnetic is emitted in quasar?
As material falls into a Quasar, it emits much of the electromagnetic spectrum. As material is just about to pass the event horizon, cosmic rays (the most energic electromagnetic waves we know of) are released.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum does visible wavelengths makes up?
In the full spectrum, humans can only see 3% of the rays. Other animals can say more, some scientists predict cats see 20% of the spectrum.
