How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma ray?
Gamma radiation is the fastest, as it is light. speed of gamma radiation = c (light speed) speed of beta radiation < c ( below light speed ) speed of alpha radiation < c/10 ( far below light speed )
Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?
All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
Does artificial light travel as fast as natural light?
The radiation that a laser emits ... whether it's visible light, infrared, or microwave, has all the same physical characteristics as electromagnetic radiation from other sources has, including speed.
Does light in air travel faster than radiation from microwave oven?
No, they travel at the same speed.
What is light classified as?
Light is an electromagnetic radiation. Our eyes are sensitive, the E/M radiation at the light wavelength. Hence we see light. The E/M radiation adjacent to light are Infra-red(IR) and Ultra-violet(UV), which we do not see.
What is the same convection and radiation?
light burner.
What do all types electromagnetic radiation have in common?
They travel at the speed of light (c = 3*108 m/s)
Is light the same thing as electromagnetic radiation?
Yes, visible light makes up the middle region of the Electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, light is a form electromagnetic radiation.
How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma ray?
Gamma radiation is the fastest, as it is light. speed of gamma radiation = c (light speed) speed of beta radiation < c ( below light speed ) speed of alpha radiation < c/10 ( far below light speed )
What is the same for all types electromagnetic radiation?
They all travel at the SPEED OF LIGHT.
Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?
All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
Do all light waves emit radiation?
Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.
Does artificial light travel as fast as natural light?
The radiation that a laser emits ... whether it's visible light, infrared, or microwave, has all the same physical characteristics as electromagnetic radiation from other sources has, including speed.
Is light the same as refraction?
No. Light is energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Refraction is a physical process that affects any wave.
Why is it necessary to detect radiation from space and not just light?
Light is radiation.
Does light in air travel faster than radiation from microwave oven?
No, they travel at the same speed.
How is visible light and electromagnetic radiation different?
They are not different.Visible light IS electromagnetic radiation.
