What determines the difference between types of electromagnetic radiation?
The wavelength
What is the electromagnetic specturm?
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.
Characteristic series of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation substances emit?
Spectra
How is visible light and electromagnetic radiation different?
They are not different.Visible light IS electromagnetic radiation.
Is water part of the eletromagnetic spectrum?
No, The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.
What characteristic of an electromagnetic wave is associated with the energy of that radiation?
The wavelength, E = hc/wavelength.
What things are electromagnetic radiation emitting from?
Electromagnetic radiation is emitted from many different things. Some of the things that emit electromagnetic radiation are microwaves, x-rays and radios.
What determines the different types of radiation?
YES
What do all of the different forms of electromagnetic radiation together make up?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum.
What represents different forms of electromagnetic radiation?
different forms of electromagnet
Is gravity caused by the absorption of electromagnetic emission?
No. Gravity is a characteristic property of space and mass that exists whether or not there is any electromagnetic radiation in the neighborhood. Its cause is unknown.
What types of electromagnetic radiation can be released when an electron falls from an excited state to a ground state?
Whenever the electron falls from an excited state to a lower level, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Electromagnetic radiation can be light of different wavelengths and therefore different colors
