The entire electromagnetic spectrum is detectable, emanating from various objects in space. Space itself emits the 3K cosmic microwave background, the echo of the big bang from whence our universe came. Stars emit radio waves, infrared, and ultraviolet. If you consider neutrinos EMR, those two come from supernova.
What else can I help you with?
Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?
X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.
How electromagnetic radiation is formed?
electromagnetic radiations are formed due to the disturbances in electric and magnetic fields which are perpendicular to each other.
Why can we only see visible light and not other forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We can only see visible light because our eyes are sensitive to the wavelengths of light within the visible spectrum. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as infrared and ultraviolet light, have wavelengths that are either too long or too short for our eyes to detect.
Do humans emit electromagnetic radiations?
Yes, Humans do emit electromagnetic radiations. Every object with a temperature emits infra-red EM radiation. According to De-Broglie's hypothesis, every material body has an electromagnetic wave associated with it. Correction: DeBroglie's Hypothesis has nothing whatsoever to do with EM waves.
Is the only part of electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye detect?
No, the human eye can detect only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, known as visible light. This spectrum ranges from wavelengths of approximately 400-700 nanometers, with colors like red, green, and blue falling within this range. Other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet and infrared light, are invisible to the human eye.
What travels at the speed of light in a vacuum?
All colours of light, as well as all other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as radio,X-rays, microwaves, heat, gamma rays, television, ultraviolet light, cellular telephonesignals, Bluetooth waves, weather satellite and GPS waves, and the spectrally shiftedlight from distant stars and galaxies, all travel through vacuum at precisely the samespeed. The speed is299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second .
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 is the light called that the retina can detect?
The light that the retina can detect is called visible light, which falls within the electromagnetic spectrum and is made up of various colors with different wavelengths. The retina contains specialized cells called photoreceptors that are sensitive to this visible light and are responsible for converting light signals into electrical impulses for the brain to process.
Why can you see some of the spectrum and not all of it?
Humans can see a limited portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called visible light, which ranges from red to violet. Our eyes have evolved to detect these wavelengths, as they are most relevant for our survival. Other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared and ultraviolet, are invisible to us because our eyes lack the receptors to detect them.
What are light telescopes?
Telescopes that work with visible light, as opposed to other radiations such as infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc.
What is the reason that light is electromagnetic wave?
No sure what you mean by "the reason." Electromagnetic waves exist in our Universe. Our eyes are able to detect a small fraction of the spectrum of these waves, and we call that small fraction of the spectrum, "light." In other words, the reason that light is an EM wave is because it IS.
Why can you see visible light waves but not other electromagnetic waves?
Visible light consists of the band of wavelengths to which the structure of the human eye is sensitive. Radiation outside of that band may enter the eye, but there's nothing in there that responds to it, so the brain remains unaware of it.
