Does electromagnetic radiation include only visible light waves?
Not exactly. Actually, no. Photons are chunks of electromagnetic waves. As such, they do not produce EM waves, they ARE those waves. A photon inter-acting with some other particle could result in other photons -- ie, a different kind of EM wave -- being created.
What are the properties of electromagnetic waves and interactions that make Doppler radar possible?
Doppler radar wouldn't be possible if the speed of light were infinite. Also it wouldn't be possible if the electromagnetic waves didn't reflect on objects. Also it helps a lot if those electromagnetic waves have a particular frequency as opposed to a wide spectrum. --Some person named Adrian who did the research
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 type of electromagnetic waves are visible?
types include (in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength): radio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays
Do microwaves absorb Radiation?
Radiation describes any process by which energy emitted by one body travels through a medium or through space, to be absorbed by another body. Radiation is often associated with ionizing radiation (e.g., as occurring in nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors, and radioactive substances). However it also refers to electromagnetic radiation (i.e., radio waves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays). Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between that of radio waves and infrared light. I will place a link below to show this.
Wave that can travel through an empty space?
what is a form of energy that travels as waves through the air and some solids and liquids call?
What is transferred by electromagnet waves?
Electromagnetic radiation is transferred by electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic radiation is a fundamental phenomenon of electromagnetism.
The full range of energy in sunlight can best be described as?
The full range of energy in sunlight can best be described as electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation behaves as waves and also as particles called photons.
How are electromagnetic waves produced?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles. These waves are also called 'electromagnetic radiation' because they radiate from the electrically charged particles. They travel through empty space as well as through air and other substances.
Are all waves mechanical waves?
maybe? ----- No, you are forgetting about electromagnetic radiation such as a light, radio, x-rays, and so on that also have wave properties. Mechanical waves are able to travel through matter but electromagnetic waves can travel in a vacuum.
When scientists talk aboutelectromagnetic radiation what are they really describing?
Electromagnetic radiation is also known as electromagnetic waves. That are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles. Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies.
How do you use electromagnetic wave in a sentence?
Solar flares emit electromagnetic waves.The electromagnetic wave interrupted cellular phone communications.Satellites can be damaged by electromagnetic waves.
What is the difference between red radiation and infra red radiation?
Both are electromagnetic waves. The frequency is different, therefore, also the energy and the wavelength are different. Red is part of the visible spectrum - the range of electromagnetic waves we can see. Infrared is invisible for our eyes.
What are electromagnetic waves also called?
Light is what we usually think of when talking about electromagnetic waves, but in reality they include many other types or radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, UV rays, X-rays, and even gamma rays.See the Related Questions and Web Links for more information.

Waves with long wavelength low frequency?
yes waves with long wavelengthhave low frequency also low energy.
What are the properties of electromagnetic waves and interactions that make Doppler radar possible?
Doppler radar wouldn't be possible if the speed of light were infinite. Also it wouldn't be possible if the electromagnetic waves didn't reflect on objects.
