Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is commonly used to treat waste water. UV radiation in the germicidal range (between 200-300 nanometers) is effective in destroying harmful microorganisms present in the water. This process helps to disinfect the waste water before it is released into the environment.

Is steam radiation?

No, steam is matter: water in its gas state.However being quite hot steam is emitting far more electromagnetic radiation (in the infrared band) than liquid water does.


What is Radiation that is not a particle?

Radiation will always remain a particle so long as it doesn't come in contact with MOST direct sunlight, or water. In that case, water becomes irradiated and the Particle becomes part of the water..answer 2 electromagnetic radiation - radio waves do not involve particles. Sound waves, heat, and UV light etc also are radiation. 'Radiation' is also used in biology, to describe the spread .


What are the functions of a waste water treatment plant?

to treat the water with impurities before they return it back yo the river or sea.


What heat transfer uses electromagnetic waves to increase thermal energy?

Microwave Radiation is Very Effectively absorbed by Water molecules, this results in the increased thermal agitation of the Water molecules that absorb the Mw radiation - as found in Microwave ovens.


What is Cherenkov radiation?

Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated when subatomic particles pass through matter at a speed faster than the speed of light through that type of matter. It is somewhat analogous to the sonic boom generated when objects pass through air faster than the speed of sound; except Cherenkov radiation is an electromagnetic phenomenon and a sonic boom is a sound phenomenon. Cherenkov radiation is usually seen as blue light. It is most commonly seen in the water surrounding nuclear reactor cores (see photo above), but can also occur in any transparent material (e.g. air, plastic, glass) when it is exposed to enough high speed subatomic particle radiation.

Yes it can


What is water absorption?

The absorption of electromagnetic radiation by water depends on the state of the water.


Is water part of the eletromagnetic spectrum?

No, The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.


How does Iran treat waste water?

They don't treat it nicely at all. Infact they have no water and drink their own wee.


What is the disturbance that travels in a water and EM waves?

The disturbance that travels in a water and EM waves is sometimes known as electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves have the ability to travel through a vacuum.

The numerical value of the speed of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is?

299,792,458 meters (186,282 miles) per second ... the speed of all forms of electromagnetic radiation, including light, in vacuum. The speed is slightly less in air, water, glass, jello, etc.


How are speeds of electromagnetic radiation frequency and wave length related?

The speed of electromagnetic radiation (light) in a vacuum is a constant, independent of frequency or wavelength. However in a medium (e.g. glass, water, air, diamond) it is no longer a constant, allowing the colors to be separated into a spectrum.


What do you call energy that travels and spreads out as it goes?

Waves, as in water, or electromagnetic radiation. Even a beam spreads out, due to diffraction.


What Gamma Radiation made of?

Gamma radiation is an electromagnetic wave, the same as all other kinds of light, except that it has much more energy. Electromagnetic waves are waves of electrical and magnetic fields which travel through space, much like waves through water.
