How much of the electromagnetic spectrum does visible wavelengths makes up?

In the full spectrum, humans can only see 3% of the rays. Other animals can say more, some scientists predict cats see 20% of the spectrum.


What parts of the electromagnetic spectrum do you use the most?

Quite simply, the Microwave Oven uses the Microwave part of the spectrum.


What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum coefficient of the universe?

I'll go out on a limb here, and say that if such a thing as "electromagnetic spectrum coefficient" existed, then either I would have heard of it by now, or else it would have shown up in a search on arguably the currently most popular online search engine. Neither of those conditions being satisfied, I have to say that I believe there to be no answer to this one because the question itself is meaningless.


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.


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.

Does air messages pollute the air?

If you mean "on air" as with radio and television, mobile telephones etc., then no they do not. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are transmitted through this. I suppose you could say they pollute the electromagnetic spectrum.


How is the electromagnetic spectrum useful?

Visible light, which lets humans and other animals see, is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. RF (radio frequency) waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. RF transmissions carry radio and television broadcasts. They have the lowest frequency. Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. X-Rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and have the highest frequency..

Which of theses two beams is most likely in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum?

I'll say the second one is. (The one on the right.)

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


When they say Increasing wavelength Referring to spectrum do they mean short wavelengths?

increasing wavelength means shorter frequency.
