What are the members of electomagnetic spectrum?
From lowest frequency to highest, the electromagnetic spectrum consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. Heat, or thermal radiation, is also a type of electromagnetic wave, but is not limited to any particular frequency range. Televisions and cell phones use electromagnetic waves in the radio-wave region.
Radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet rays have longer wavelenghts then visible light?
Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves. Radio frequency waves are a lower frequency, so they have a longer wave length.
What wave causes sunburn?
In general, it is ultraviolet light (the UV ray) that causes sunburn. Ultraviolet light is of a higher frequency than visible light, which means shorter wavelength, and higher energy. UV rays tend to do some tissue damage and burn skin causing sunburn.
Is sun rays ionising radiation or non ionising?
Some of the sun's rays are ionizing and some not. The portion that is not ionizing is the visible spectrum, anything with longer wavelength (infrared), and a bit of the ultraviolet spectrum. The shorter wave lengths are all ionizing.
How so solar flares and their related of x-rays and ultraviolet light affect us on earth?
solar flares along with heat eject large no. of electrons due to this wave of electrons -waves of magnetism are produces which affect not only atmosphere but may also penetrate ozone layer and can affect our electronic appliances . x-rays and ultraviolet rays are high energy rays and if they penetrate the atmosphere and come in contact with human skin or animals can cause cancer and several mutations in humans.
What kind of wave does the sun produce?
the sun produce ultraviolet rays which strike the earth surface.
What type of electromagnetic wave is considered harmful to humans?
These are ultraviolet rays, x-rays and gamma rays.
How long are X ray wave lengths compared with ultraviolet wave lengths?
X-rays are shorter waves than ultraviolet ones.
Wave lenghts that are shorter than visble light are?
ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, gamma rays
What wave is shorter than visible light but longer than X-rays?
Ultraviolet light is.
What is absorbed by the earth changing the rays to heat?
ultraviolet rays are absorbed by the earth changing the rays to heat
What is the heating effect of a medium that is transparent to the short wave length radiation of sunlight but opaque to the long wave terrestrial radiation?
ultraviolet rays
Is X-ray fission or fusion?
It is neither. X-rays are a kind of electromagnetic wave.It is neither. X-rays are a kind of electromagnetic wave.It is neither. X-rays are a kind of electromagnetic wave.It is neither. X-rays are a kind of electromagnetic wave.
What kind of wave is in x rays?
radiation
What type of invisible radiation from space can be detected from earth?
Long wave radio, short wave radio, microwave radio, heat, far infrared, near infrared, ultraviolet UV-A, ultraviolet UV-B, high energy X-rays, high energy gamma rays.
What type of wave is an ultraviolet wave?
An invisible Electromagnetic radiation (also called solar radiation) whose wavelength is shorter than visible light but greater than X-rays (i.e in ORDER of 10-8 m) is called ultraviolet wave.
What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light?
Waves the have a wavelength slightly shorter than the visible light are as follows: 1. Ultraviolet 2. X-rays 3. Gamma rays
