EM waves at frequencies below ultraviolet are analyzed using wave theory and do not ionize atoms. At UV and above they are analyzed as particles and are capable of ionizing any atoms. That is their dual nature.

Is there raideaction in a mri?

If you mean "radiation" then the answer is yes. Electromagnetic radiation in the radiofrequency spectrum. Note that this differs from x rays in that it is not damaging to the tissues.


Is xray a word?

Yes, XRAY is a company. If you are referring to the electromagnetic radiation, x-ray what you mean.


Does electromagnetic energy transfer to light energy?

Yes, electromagnetic energy can be transformed into light energy. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation within a specific range of the electromagnetic spectrum. When an object absorbs electromagnetic energy, it can emit light as a result of this energy conversion.


Can electromagnetic energy move a model car?

If it has a battery that is electromagnetic energy, but if you mean radiation force you need 300 megawatts of power for 1 Newton force.


What does the word emp mean to most people?

"EMP" is the abbreviation for the term "electromagnetic pulse". EMPs are a pulse of electromagnetic radiation that may cause current and voltage surges.


What do you mean by dark matter?

Dark matter is matter that is inferred to exist from gravitational effects on visible matter and background radiation, but is undetectable by emitted or scattered electromagnetic radiation.


Does electromagnetic radiation include only visible light waves?

Not exactly. Actually, no. Photons are chunks of electromagnetic waves. As such, they do not produce EM waves, they ARE those waves. A photon inter-acting with some other particle could result in other photons -- ie, a different kind of EM wave -- being created.


What is alpha beta and gamma in physics?

The first three letters of the greek alphabet. If you mean particles, then ... alpha is a helium nucleolus, beta is an electron, and gamma is electromagnetic radiation.


What does radiation mean in science terms?

it means that one thing is vibrating like a microwave or a cell phone


What does fadiation mean?

There seems to be a typo in your question. "Fadiation" is not a recognized term. Did you mean to ask about radiation instead? Radiation refers to the emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles, often associated with nuclear reactions or certain medical procedures.


What is electromagenetic spectrum mean?

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, extending from low-frequency radio waves to high-energy gamma rays. It includes visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and microwaves, among others. Each type of radiation has a different wavelength and energy level.


What has a wavelength longer than visible light?

Assuming you mean other electromagnetic waves: that would be infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
