What is the entire range of radiation from xray to radiowaves?
The range of all forms of radiant energy is called the electromagnetic spectrum. It ranges from extremely long radio waves to extremely short gamma rays.
How are electromagnetic waves used to operate an xray machine?
Electrons impact at high velocity on a tungsten anode. The tungsten emits the X-Rays, which are the electromagnetic waves.
Do sound require a medium?
Sound waves need a medium to propagate. Light-waves and other electromagnetic wave (radio, xray) do not.
In which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have astronomers been unable to get any information?
We can get information from any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum provided we use the correct "listening" devices; that is the entire range, Radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultra violet, xray, and gamma rays
What color on the color spectrum is closest to an x-ray?
Ok, the electromagnetic spectrum is RadioWaves-Microwaves-Infrared-(red orange yellow green blue violet)-UltraViolet-XRay-Gamma These are part of the visible color spectrum So violet would be the answer.
Is xray a word?
Yes, XRAY is a company. If you are referring to the electromagnetic radiation, x-ray what you mean.
Why are the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum put in that order?
infrared, ROY G BIV, ultraviolet, xray, gamma ray, cosmic ray That's the order they fall in when you sort them by frequency or wavelength.
What is xray short for?
Energetic High-frequency Electromagnetic Radiation
What is the definition of xray?
They are electromagnetic rays with wavelengths in the range of 0.01 to 10 nanometres.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum does the sun produce?
Electromagnetic radiation is a continuous spectrum of wavelengths from thousands of kilometres to wavelengths the size of fractions of an atom. They are all the same kind of radiation - the differences are only the wavelengths. They range from the longest - radio waves, then microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultra violet light, X-rays and gamma rays. The sun emits all of these apart from gamma rays.
How does an ultra sound work?
By creating an xray using sound waves.
What is similar about light waves of different colors?
Light is an electromagnetic wave. it is under the spectrum of electromagnetic waves of range 400nm-750nm. below 400nm are IR radio waves etc. and above 750 are like Gamma Xray etc. Every wavelength has different property and "energy". it effects differently on different type of chemicals , metals etc. So, different colors means different wavelengths and energy. and hence they have different effects.
