Light, or electromagnetic radiation, is generally unaffected by magnetic fields. Magnetic fields don't "bend" light, though photons will follow the curvature of spacetime around massive gravitational fields.

Any remote sensor fulfills your question. A radiation pyrometer, a magnetic sensor, a light sensitive switch and so on.


What is magnetic radiation?

Wow, that's both an easy question as well as difficult to answer. In layman's terms, electromagnetic radiation could be categorized as any magnetic field created by electrical or electronic means. For example, a transmitted radio signal, TV signal or satellite signal consists of electromagnetic radiation, but then so does the field created by the coils in a transformer, motor or generator.


How long does earths magnetic flip take?

An electromagnetic wave is a form of radiation consisting of waves of energy associated with electric and magnetic fields resulting from the acceleration of an electric charge. An electromagnetic wave travels like any other form of radiation or light, except for the fact that an electromagnetic wave moves perpendicular to an electric field and a magnetic field.


Do magnetic fields affect X Rays?

No, magnetic fields do not affect X-rays. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, while magnetic fields affect charged particles. Therefore, magnetic fields do not interact with X-rays in the same way they do with charged particles.


Is it safe to have another MRI after six months?

MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging. An MRI does not use dangerous radiation like an X-ray does. It is just a powerful magnetic field that (so far) hasn't been associated with any deliberating effect.


Why does radiation don't need any substance to travel?

Radiation is like light, it can travel through empty space. The "why" is a bit complex; basically, light, as well as similar radiations (including heat radiation) consists of electromagnetic waves. These can travel through empty space, since they are just waves in the electric and magnetic properties of space.


Is B2 magnetic and how does it affect the surrounding environment?

B2 is not magnetic. It does not have any significant effect on the surrounding environment in terms of magnetic properties.


Which form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?

Any and all objects that are warm emit electro-magnetic [radiated] waves in the Infra-Red range of E-M frequencies. IR radiation is stopped from 'Escaping' Into Outer Space, and remains instead Our Unwelcome Guest. radiation A+


Is there any type of radiation that can stops xrays?

No type of electromagnetic radiation has any effect on any other type. In order to 'stop' it, you need a material that absorbs it.


Does a superconductor expel a magnetic field?

As a superconducting material transitions into its superconducting state, it ejects internal magnetic fields. In that light, yes, a superconductor could be said to expel a magnetic field according to what is called the Meissner effect. A link can be found below.


Do any microwaves use light to help cook?

Microwaves use radiation to cook food and radiation is a form of light. They do not use actual light bulbs to cook though.


What may be said about the electric and magnetic fields of a proton moving through space if it does so without any change in its velocity?

If a proton is moving through space without any change in its velocity, then its electric and magnetic fields are not interacting with any other electromagnetic fields. There are no other fields present, and about the only place where a proton can move without interference is deep space. There will still be some electromagnetic radiation, even there. And this will have an effect on the protons's fields. There may also be another charged particle or two about as well. In reality, there is no place that is completely free of electromagnetic fields. But if there were, it would be a perfect vacuum with no light or any other electromagnetic radiation moving through it.
