What does the word spectrum mean when you say electromagnetic spectrum?

Here the word spectrum denotes the group of waves.


Is the electromagentic spectrum can only be seen in visiable light?

Some electromagnetic waves are invisible and some aren't. Light is electromagnetic radiation, and we can see it. Radio waves aren't, and neither are x-rays or cosmic rays. All of these are electromagnetic waves.


What is the EM spectrum?

The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the entire range of frequencies that electromagnetic radiation can have. The EM spectrum is divided into sections based on the common characteristics that certain frequency ranges have. These sections are, in order from low to high frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light (which from low to high frequency is further divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. You can think of the EM spectrum as an invisible rainbow with visible light being a small part of it. And, like a rainbow, the edges of the divided sections are blurry; i.e. there is no exact frequency where one can say, for example, that this wave is no longer an X-ray, but is instead a gamma ray. it is waves of light in order of their wavelengths and frequencies APEX: A chart of frequencies of light waves.

What do you mean when you say that light is a electromagnetic?

Electromagnetic wave, actually. That means that changes in both electric and magnetic fields propagate as a wave.

Are light waves electromagnet waves?

Usually when one says light waves, one is referring to Visible light. Any light wave, and hence visible light, is an electromagnetic wave. As an electromagnetic wave, it is also a transverse wave. The oscillating electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave in free space are oscillating with a direction perpendicular yo the direction of movement of the wave. The velocity of an electromagnetic wave is the sped of light. This is a sensible things since light is an electromagnetic wave. In a vacuum all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed. In matter, if the matter allows an electromagnetic wave to propagate, the speed is slower than the speed of light and in optics we say the speed is reduce by the index of refraction, v=c/n. Electromagnetic waves, like all waves, have velocity, wavelength, frequency, amplitude and phase. As with all transverse waves, electromagnetic waves can be polarized, or we say, have a polarization. Electromagnetic waves have electric and magnetic fields that are sinusoidal in space and time. These electromagnetic fields satisfy Maxwell's equations, i.e. the fundamental laws of electromagnetism. There is a quantum version of electromagnetic theory called electrodynamics and that theory is the necessary edification of Maxwell's equations to describe the quantum nature of light. Thus, even when we are discussing light as photons, it is correct to say light is an electromagnetic wave as such is manifested within quantum electrodynamics.

Yes he said that.


Does the sun emit wave radio waves?

The sun gives off a large section of the electromagnetic spectrum, so you could say it is many waves all piled together

What and when did Edison invent?

I am guessing you are trying to say when did Thomas Edison invent the light bulb. He invented the light bulb on October 22nd, 1879.


Did Thomas Edison really say Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits?

Yes he said that.


How did Thomas Edison make his money?

Thomas Edison made his money by inventing new products and buying patents for them. A patent is when go to the government and ask for them to be singed to say that you invented it. When a company uses your invention they have to pay you.
