What else can I help you with?
What is radioactive decay caused by?
Is the process by which the atomic nucleus becomes slightly smaller, as a result of the emission of particles, electromagnetic radiation, or both. ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE is the right answer
What type of electromagnetic wave has a slightly longer wavelength than red light?
Infrared radiation like heat.
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
Infrared radiation has a wavelength slightly longer than?
Infrared radiation has a wavelength slightly longer than visible light. It falls within the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and visible light, with wavelengths ranging from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter.
What type of radiation does P-32 emit?
The radioactive decay of Phosphorus-32 emits only betaparticles (i.e. electrons) with a halflife of slightly longer than two weeks. No electromagnetic radiation at all is emitted.
How fast do electromagnetic waves travel?
Perhaps you have heard of the "speed of light" ?Light is an electromagnetic wave, and its speed is the speed of all forms of electromagnetic radiation.That speed is 186,282 miles (299,792 km) per second in vacuum, slightly less in any material medium.it depends on how the motion got started and what forces are acting. but for electromagnetic radiation, it only has one speed - the speed of light - no matter what frequency or wavelength or intensity of the radiation.
The numerical value of the speed of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is?
299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second ... the speed of all forms of electromagnetic radiation, including light, in vacuum. The speed is slightly less in air, water, glass, jello, etc.
What type of electromagnetic wave has wavelengths slightly longer than humans can see?
The electromagnetic waves (EMW) that are slightly "longer" than what humans can see is Infared while the EMWs that are shorter than what humans can see is UV.
Why is radiation harmful to both living and nonliving things?
This depends on the kind of radiation. Most electromagnetic radiation is harmless (e.g. broadcast radio) or only very slightly harmful (e.g. microwave, infrared, and visible light can cause heating of materials and thus thermal changes). However very high energy electromagnetic radiation (e.g. ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray) and the particulate radiation of radioactive decay and cosmic rays has enough energy to break the bonds holding molecules together, causing chemical changes.
What is the difference between nuclear radiation and heat radiation?
Heat radiation is infrared radiation, which is a relatively low frequency radiation, slightly lower than that of visible light. Nuclear radiation includes a variety of types, including X rays and gamma rays, which are very high frequency radiation, and which are consequently much more dangerous, and can cause radiation sickness. There are also other types of nuclear radiation such as alpha rays, beta rays, and neutrons, all of which are in the form of subatomic particles rather than electromagnetic radiation.
Where do infrared waves come from?
Heat sources. (or more generally, sources of electromagnetic radiation) It is so far undenied (and "functions") that infrared is an electromagnetic radiation with a slightly higher wavelength = slightly lower frequency than visible light. (search key words: infrared, frequency, wavelength, source) Infrared propagates in vacuum as well as in the atmosphere. Infrared penetrates slightly deeper into material than visible light (cf. "light therapy effects") or ultraviolet (which deposits its energy at the surface, causing for example a sun tan or skin cancer) and feels "warm".
What electromagnetic wave has a slightly longer wavelength tha red light?
Infrared.
