What is the range of electromagnetic radiation detected by the eye?
The human eye can detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum only. This region extends to the radiations of wavelength of 7600-3800 Angstrom
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be sensed without technology?
We have detectors on our bodies to detect electromagnetic radiation that we refer to as 'light',and also radiation in the far infrared that we refer to as 'heat'.A lot of people think we're also able to detect EM radiation in other bands, but scientific experimentationdoesn't support that.Yet ? ~ ~ oooweeeooo ~ ~ ~ ~
What do telescopes do with electromagnetic radiation?
Telescopes focus electromagnetic radiation for closer observation.
How is visible light and electromagnetic radiation different?
They are not different.Visible light IS electromagnetic radiation.
Is electromagnetic radiation infrared radiation?
No, not in general. It is rather the other way around. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation, and electromagnetic radiation spans multiple types of radiation, from microwaves, light, infrared, ultraviolet, radio, and more. So electromagnetic radiation could be infrared, but that is just one type of electromagnetic radiation
What two parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can a rattlesnake detect?
They can detect both visible light and infrared radiation.
What radiations can humans see?
We detect electromagnetic radiation in a narrow band of frequencies that we call "visible light" with our eyes. We can feel a broader spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that we call "heat". (There are some overlaps.) We can build tools that detect ANY frequency of electromagnetic radiation, and display that in any format we select.
what type of electromagnetic radiation do sensors use to detect differences in temperature?
infrared radiation-apex
What is the range of electromagnetic radiation detected by the eye?

What kind of electromagnetic radiation did the IRAS satellite detect?
visible light, infrared rays, and microwaves

What does the eye detect?
The eye detects electromagnetic radiation in the narrow range typically called visible light.
What things can be used to detect invisible forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Different devices are used to detect different frequency ranges of electromagnetic waves. You simply can't use the same device to detect x-rays, than you would use to detect radio waves, for example.
What are the the components of electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is simultaneously both waves and photons. The waves are perpendicular electrical waves and magnetic waves. Photons are massless particles. At lower frequencies/energies the waves are the easier to detect phenomenon, at higher frequencies/energies the photons are the easier to detect phenomenon, but it is always both all the time.
What does a pulsar emit to prove its existence?
Humans are able to detect pulsars when one of their beams crosses paths with the Earth. When this happens, we are able to detect the resulting electromagnetic radiation in the radar spectrum.
The Sun transfers most of its heat by means of?
Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).
What is another word for light waves?
Electromagnetic waves or radiation. "Light," however, generally refers to that portion of the EM spectrum that our eyes can detect.
