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 form of radiation can your eyes detect?
Our eyes can detect radiation of wavelength ranging from 4000 Angstrom to 8000 Angstrom.
How it detects radiation?
The answer depends on what "IT" is and what sort of radiation it is meant to detect!
Which of you senses can detect radiation?
none of your senses can detect radioactivity by themselves
What radiation energy can your eyes detect?
No
What does geiger counter detect?
Radiation
What does a geiger counter detect?
Radiation
What is the use of thermopile?
to detect radiation
Why is it necessary to detect radiation from space and not just light?
Light is radiation.
What is a Geiger counters used for?
It is used to measure radiation and is commonly used to detect objects that produce nuclear radiation.
What do Radiological survey instruments?
Radiological survey instruments are devices used to measure and detect levels of radiation in the environment. They are essential tools for monitoring radiation exposure, identifying sources of radiation, and ensuring safety in areas where radioactive materials are present. These instruments help in determining the radiation dose rate and contamination levels in a given area.
How do you watch weather from space?
There are weather sattellites that orbit the Earth that can detect reflected radiation, emitted radiation, or radiation reflected only by water vapour as well as satellites that emit microwave radiation to detect the clouds or precipitation.
