What is UV-VIS-IR transmission spectra?
It is a spectra that shows how transparent a material can be. in scientific terms, it is incidence of electromagnetic radiation (from the UV, Visible, Infrared wavelength regions) from a source to a material, and there is a detector which records the amount of radiation remaining after the transmission (these radiation that is gone is either reflected of the surface or absorbed by the material). The equipment that measures this is called UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer.
What is the meaning of visible light?
The scientific definition of light is--a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation between 3,800 and 7,600 angstrom units to which the retina of the eye is sensitive and a part of the electromagnetic spectrum the brain interprets. That physical response of our eyes reacting to light, long before it could be defined as retina and wavelength, has engendered a light-defined vocabulary over centuries. For example, when we talk about the physical properties of light, we talk of, "the light at the end of the tunnel," "by the light of the moon."
Can you see light energy?
not really since visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. For u 2 see an object it must give off or reflect wavelengths of visible light. any questions about this feel free to ask:]
Which type of electromagnetic radiation is used in baggage scanners, and why?
X-rays, because they either pass through or are absorbed by the objects in the baggage, creating an image of the objects. -Apex :)
What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum coefficient of the universe?
I'll go out on a limb here, and say that if such a thing as "electromagnetic spectrum coefficient" existed, then either I would have heard of it by now, or else it would have shown up in a search on arguably the currently most popular online search engine. Neither of those conditions being satisfied, I have to say that I believe there to be no answer to this one because the question itself is meaningless.
How does electromagnetic radiation behave?
Electromagnetic radiation can behave either as a wave or a particle. A wave particle is duality. Electromagnetic energy results from acceleration of a charge EM radiation can travel through a medium or vacuum.
Electromagnetic radiation behaves as either a?
Wave or a Stream of Particles
Why are some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum called light and others called waves?
No reason. Light is an electromagnetic wave so you can call any part of the spectrum either.
What are the principal rays that reach Earth?
Visible light and radio waves, with infrared (heat) and ultraviolet (tanning/burning rays) on either end of the light spectrum. Other types of EM (electromagnetic) radiation can reach Earth's surface if they have enough energy, but mostly our atmosphere is opaque to them. One type of "ray," the "cosmic ray," is actually a highly energetic particle.
Who invented em waves?
Electromagnetic waves were predicted, by calculations, by James Clerk Maxwell. Later, different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum were either discovered or confirmed to be electromagnetic waves by various scientists.
How are temperature and color linked?
Colour and temperature are linked internally The more you provide temperature the more the atom of that material gain energy and hence they emmit excessive energy in either visible spectrum of light or invisible spectrum in electromagnetic spectrum Example If we heat iron it glows bright red that is it radiates excessive energy in the form of red colour( as we percive)
What is uv spectra?
It is a spectra that shows how transparent a material can be. in scientific terms, it is incidence of electromagnetic radiation (from the UV, Visible, Infrared wavelength regions) from a source to a material, and there is a detector which records the amount of radiation remaining after the transmission (these radiation that is gone is either reflected of the surface or absorbed by the material). The equipment that measures this is called UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer.
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.
Where do electromagnetic waves come from?
A spectrum is a representation of the range of frequencies/wavelengths present in electromagnetic radiation. It may be plotted as the power or intensity on the vertical axis, and the wavelength or frequency on the horizontal axis. When talking about the electromagnetic spectrum it is sometimes presented as a chart or table showing the range of frequencies/wavelengths that are covered by electromagnetic radiation. Thus it represents radiation from radio frequencies through infra red, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays and gamma radiation. Where does it come from? The first link below shows the history of "spectrum" which was originally used to refer to the colours of light when split up by a rainbow or prism. It was later used by analogy to refer to "a range of objects". I guess that someone just wanted to make a chart showing how the various radiation types are related.
Visible light x ray infrared radiation and radio wave all have the same?
The best answer I can think of is "gauge particle." "Speed in a vacuum" is another possibility. The below, while true, does not really answer the question asked. ---- First, I have to explain radiation. Radiation consists of three types: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha radiation is destructive and is comprised of a helium nuclei, or two protons and two neutrons. Beta radiation is either an electron or a positron (I would read other sources for better information on this, it does not relate to the question). All of the rest, including gamma rays, are waves included in what is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The sole difference is their wavelength, or distance between repetitions in the wave, and frequency, the time it takes for a certain number of wave units to pass a certain point, often expressed in waves/second, or Hertz. The electromagnetic spectrum and its components can be more thoroughly explained by other sites.

What form of electromagnetic waves are used in smoke detectors?
There are two types of smoke detectors:Alpha particle - these do not use electromagnetic wavesPhotoelectric - these use a beam of either visible lightor near infrared electromagnetic waves
