Who was the first person who proved visible light is only part of the elctromagnetic spectrum?
While I wasn't able to find a specific name associated with the unification of the electromagnetic spectrum, I would suspect that it was James Clerk Maxwell, the man who discovered the link between electricity and magnetism, thus coining the term "electro-magnetic". The spectrum itself is just a list of the ranges of energy that a photon can be at. By studying visible light we can develop the equations that eventually lead to everything from radio waves to gamma waves.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do plants use for photosynthesis?
Primarily Yellow but really it uses most of the visible spectrum, just some parts more than others. Green plants actually have five type of pigments that serve in photosynthesis. When the leave of the deciduous trees turn in autumn you can see the colours of many of these as they are selectively withdrawn.
How was the Magellan spacecraft able to see through Venus clouds?
Infrared light can penetrate through clouds. The resulting images were adjusted to assign colors in the visible spectrum. You can search the web for "False-color imaging" and find more information on this image enhancement technique.
How can you find the molecular mass of a substance from its mass spectrum?
Obtain the molecular mass by determining the m/z value of the molecular ion peak (rightmost in the spectrum).
Where can one find the detail of the visible light?
You can find the detail of the visible light online at the Ucolick Organization website. Once on the page, you can learn details about light and it's wavelengths.
Where can you find red light?
Red light is a component of the visible spectrum.
Where can you find zirconium?
There is a mine producing zirconium at Phalaborwa (pronounced Palabora) in northern South Africa. Other things are mined there mainly, but zirconium and zirconium oxide were found as by=products of mining operations.
How can chemical symbols show that cubic zircon is not a diamond?
You'd find out what cubic zirconia is conposed of, and compare it to what diamonds are composed of, and since they are composed of different things, their chemical symbols will be different.
What human organ is sensitive to a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum?
VIsual light
Where can you find good jokes about the electromagnetic spectrum?
I found two EM spectrum jokes. Whether they are good, let the reader decide:An XKCD comic about the electromagnetic spectrum (please see the related link)and this (funny?) valentine:Roses reflect a light frequency at one end of the visibleelectromagnetic spectrum,Violets reflect a light frequency at the other end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum,Sugar is C12H22O11,And you release the endorphins in my brain.
Does the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?
No, the optical spectrum does not represent a large portion of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation begins with what might be termed "radio waves" and goes up from there. There are a number of "radio" bands, and they take up much of the spectrum. Microwaves top the list, and lead to the infrared (IR) radiation that sits just below the visible spectrum (or optical spectrum). Above visible light we have ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and beyond that, X-rays and cosmic rays. A picture might be worth a couple of hundred words, and by using the links below you can find diagrams plus additional information.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is used in ovens?
In a microwave oven, we find that microwave energy (from the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) are used. In a conventional oven, gas or electricity is used to create infrared heat, so we find infrared radiation (from the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is just below the visible light or optical portion) used there. If the oven happens to be a combination microwave and conventional, we'll find both types of electromagnetic waves generated for use inside.

How do you find the Molar Proportions of each oxide?
Convert oxide wt.% into molecular proportion of each oxide. This is done by dividing the wt. % of each oxide by the molecular weight of the oxide.
How can you use the em spectrum to explore the universe?
The HST uses EM waves to find things through echolocation or firing a beam of EM waves (or sound) at objects and seeing what a planet or star has done to change the light. Ultrasound works this way.

What is the scientific notation for finding the wavelength of blue light?
To find the wavelength of blue light, simply look at an electromagnetic spectrum, specifically the visible light portion. Blue light corresponds to a wavelength of around 475 nm.
