Light is a range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. This is the same stuff that makes radio frequencies, X-rays, microwaves (like the ones used to heat food). The range or group of frequencies that make up visible light plus ultraviolet and infrared light are referred to the visual spectrum. The others are the radio spectrum, the microwave spectrum, etc.

What are the 3 spectrums of light in fios?

There are 3 spectrums of light measured in nm nanometers. There are 2 downstream spectrums and 1 upstream spectrum. 1490 carries voice and data downstrem. 1550 carries video downstream. 1310 carries all upstream. Generally there are acceptable levels at an ONT. This stands for Optical Network Terminal. Fios has its own standards. 1490 should be no lower than -28nm and 1550 should be no lower than -6. You can do more research if you want to get more detailed specs.

Do sights and sounds have infinite number of variations?

Yes and no. Yes in their true nature (ie: detection by machines) and no in our reality (ie:detection by our senses) It depends on how infinite the discerning (cutting up) of each type of frequency is. On the other hand, light and sound do have limited spectrums but those spectrums have inifinite frequency possibilities in between

How spectroscopy works?

Spectroscopy is basically the study of the spectrums of visible and non-visible light rays. Specifically, it is determining the output of radiation an object has along the spectrum. This is called a wavelength.


Why is the leaf is green?

Because a leaf normally has green pigment in it called chlorophyll. These pigments absorb all the spectrums of the light except for the green spectrum, which is why leafs appear green.

How can you remove blackout marks from paper?

It depends what the marks are made by. Ink, magic marker, paint, etc. can be nullified by different spectrums of light. Other things cause other problems.


What does the sun give off that cause damage to your skin?

The Sun gives off all spectrums of light, from microwaves to gamma rays, the ozone layer only lets through the infrared through UV spectrums. And it's the UV rays that cause skin damage. Too much UV rays, and you'll be burned to a crisp (not literally, but as a figure of speech)
