What science studies how atoms absorb and emit electromagnetic radiation is?
spectroscopy
The science that studies how atoms absorb and emit electromagnetic radiation is called?
Spectroscopy
What is the scientific tool based on how atoms absorb and emit elctromagnetic radiation?
spectroscopy
What what are the characteristics of matter?
oxygen made of molecules and atoms related to light and electromagnetic radiation has mass
Can splitting atoms in controlled environment propel something to light speed?
Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light, though it can get close. Nuclear fission (the splitting of atoms) does generate electromagnetic radiation which travels at the speed of light, but light is a form of electromagnetic radiation anyway.
Can radiation be detected because it ionizes the atoms it affects?
Ionizing radiation is only one type of radiation. Visible light, for example, falls under the category of electromagnetic radiation. Radiation has many different detectable consequences.
Is the scientific study of the distribution of electromagnetic waves by energy and how these patterns are created in atoms and molecules?
Spectroscopy (:
What is the scientific name for radiation?
The scientific name for radiation is "ionizing radiation." It includes forms of energy such as gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet rays that have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, creating ions.
What is the process in which the nuclei of unstable atoms can become more stable by emitting particles or electromagnetic radiation?
The process described is radioactive decay.
An electromagnetic wave is slowed down if?
Well, to be honest, electromagnetic wave itself is never slowed down by anything and travels uniformly at the speed of light, c. However, when you look at macroscopic level, it is possible to slow down a combination of many many electromagnetic waves if they travel though a dense medium. The denser the medium, the more 'radiation' is slowed down. So slowing down process occurs when 'radiation' travels from less dense to more dense medium (the closed atoms are packed together, the more they absorb and reemit electromagnetic waves).
What is the electromagnetic radiation that rips electrons off of atoms to produce free radicals called?
Ultraviolet radiation can rip electrons off the atoms to produce free radicals. However radiations of higher frequency can also have the same effect. The higher the energy of the photon of the electromagnetic wave, the easier it is for the photon to knock off electrons from an atom.
Excited mercury atoms emit light strongly at a wave of 436 nm What is the frequency of radiation What is the energy of this radiation Good illustration of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Ultraviolet. Most of the spectrum is invisible to people.
