What else can I help you with?
How do scientist study invisible radiation from objects in space?
They study visible light by using optical telescopes.
Is there an upper limit to magnification using visible light?
Yes, the wavelength of the light limits the maximum magnification of a microscope. Using visible light, the limit is about 1200 to 1500X.
Can you give me a sentence using the word visible light?
As they sailed on, there was a visible light at the horizon.
Why is it impossible to view atoms using visible light?
Because they are smaller than the wavelengths of visible light.
Can you study visible light using a radio telescope?
No.
Is using visible light the only way of seeing what is in outer space?
No, astronomers also use other forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays to observe objects in outer space. Each type of radiation provides unique information about the universe and helps astronomers to study different aspects of celestial objects.
Why light emitted by a bulb is yellowish in colour but from a fluroscent tube is white?
The color of light emitted by a bulb is determined by the material of the filament which usually emits a warm, yellowish light. Fluorescent tubes produce white light by using a phosphor coating on the tube that converts UV light into visible light of different colors, resulting in a more natural white light.
What type of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light?
A fluorescent light bulb converts ultraviolet waves into visible light using a phosphor coating inside the bulb. When the UV light hits the phosphor coating, it emits visible light.
Does all types of light create a rainbow?
No rainbows can only happen using visible (white) light.
What is radio astromony?
astronomy using radio waves, rather than visible light. visible light and radio waves are essentially the same, only radio waves have a much longer wavelength. not everything emits light in the visible band, many otherwise invisible objects can only be detected using extreme wavelengths.
Why are atoms invisible to visible light?
Atoms are typically smaller in size than the wavelength of visible light, which makes them difficult to detect using visible light. Additionally, atoms do not absorb or reflect visible light in a way that allows them to be seen by the human eye. Special techniques such as electron microscopes are often used to visualize atoms.
What is the principle electromagnetic waves in space wave?
Pure light from a source in space, like our sun, has many components. The visible wavelength of light is just one of these. Another component is the electromagnetic wavelength that travels perpendicularly to the visible wavelength. As the first of these waves weaves through the vacuum of space, it propagates its companion wave simultaneously and at 90 degrees. The first wave can then continue forward using the newly created side wave and so on. This is how light travels through a vacuum with no medium, displaying an example of the particle property of light (as waves cannot travel in a vacuum).
