-- We have no technology that can generate visible light at power levels that are
easy to generate in the microwave.
-- Visible light won't warm up a leftover chunk of meatloaf.
-- For telecom applications, microwaves sail right on through atmospheric conditions
that scatter, diffuse, and absorb visible light.
But your question doesn't mention what uses you're thinking of, and visible light
certainly has its place. For example, microwave traffic lights at intersections
would not work out too well. Neither would a microwave chandelier hanging
over your dining-room table.
What else can I help you with?
Can you see micro waves?
No, unless you are not talking about microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum. The reason we can not see them is because they are not part of the visible spectrum. Microwaves have lower frequencies.Microwaves do use microwaves. The microwave uses microwaves to excite the water molecules making the food cook faster than a conventional oven.
Does a microwave use light energy?
yes its does because when the microwave is on and the plate is rotating,the light is actually heating the food. It is not the visible light that does the heating, that is provided simply so you can see inside the oven. It is the microwaves that do the heating, by agitating molecules of water in the food. That's why you can't heat dry food in microwave oven. The microwaves are EM radiation like visible light, but a different wavelength.
Do any microwaves use light to help cook?
Microwaves use radiation to cook food and radiation is a form of light. They do not use actual light bulbs to cook though.
Does fire use visible light?
Fire doesn't use visible light. It producesvisible light.
What is the most familiar form of electromagnetic energy?
The most familiar form of electromagnetic energy is visible light. It is the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye and includes all the colors of the rainbow.
What instrument to astronomers use?
They use telescopes, but different types of telescopes. There are telescopes for radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays, all depending on what it is you're trying to see.
What kind of light is normal light that you use?
The answer is visible light. Visible light is light that can be seen with a naked eye
What are some sources of electromagnetic radiation that you use every day?
microwave, mobilephone, computer (wireless), tanning booth, light bulbs.
What type of electromagnetic radiation is commonly used for long-distance communications?
In technology, radio waves or microwaves are typically used.In our day-to-day communication (WITHOUT technology), we also use visible light.
What types of light bulb converts ultraviolet waves in to visible light waves?
A fluorescent light bulb contains a phosphor coating on the inner surface of the bulb, which converts ultraviolet light produced by the mercury vapor inside the bulb into visible light. LED light bulbs do not contain phosphors but instead use semiconductors to directly convert electrical energy into visible light.
What did they used to use in the 1800's instead of microwaves?
NO! there wasnt much of elecrticity yet.
do flashlights use electromagnetic waves when creating light?
No, flashlights do not use electromagnetic waves to create light. Instead, they use electrical energy to power a light source, such as a bulb or LED, which emits visible light when energized. Electromagnetic waves are a form of energy that can transmit light, but they are not the source of light production in a flashlight.
