What is part of the electromagnetic spectrum?

One example is the visible spectrum : all the colors that you can see.


In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the resonant frequency of electrons in glass?

I think in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Where along the em spectrum does gamma rays fall?

The EM spectrum, is based upon the emission of photons at different wavelengths. Visible light is a small part of this spectrum. As all of the spectrum travels at the speed of light - C. The frequencies for different wavelenghts of photons will be different. The creation of these different parts of the spectrum are from different oscillations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum#Rationale) For instance radio waves come from the oscillation of electrons in an antenna. Limitations on these oscillations cause the limitation in the spectrum, at one end there is radiowaves, limited by electron oscillation and the at the other side is gamma from the creation of particle antiparticle pairs.


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..


What is Radiant light energy?

This is part of the Electromagnetic radiation spectrum, visible light occupies a small part of this spectrum, but all wavelengths have the same physical properties

Which region of the visible spectrum is not absorbed well by chlorophyll?

Well there are actually different types of cholorophyll, and they absorb light from different parts of the spectrum, however the answer you are probably looking for is that they don't absorb light from the green part of the spectrum. This is in fact why photosynthesizing plants are green.

What did humble conclude when he noted that light emitted from stars is shifiting toward the red end of the electromagnectic spectrum?

This discovery led to the conclusion that the "red shift" is a property of stars moving away from us; i.e the galaxy is expanding.


The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that you can actually see is called the spectrum?

No, its just visible light - light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is in the middle of it.

What is the relationship between electromagnetic spectrum and sight?

Different wavelengths on the spectrum are seen as different colors within the visible light section of the spectrum.

What is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum called?

We call that the visible or optical spectrum.


Is light part of the radio spectrum?

No, light is not part of the radio spectrum. But, both the radio spectrum and light are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of frequencies from very low to very high. Light frequencies are higher than radio frequencies but both are the same kind of thing.
