Are microwaves visible to humans?
No, microwaves aren't visible to humans. Microwaves are electromagnetic energy, and the only electromagnetic energy humans can see is that of visible light.
What are some forms of radiation?
Visible light, radio, television and microwaves.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
Which photons have greater energy those associated with microwaves or those asociated with visible light?
Visible light
Are microwaves a form of light?
There is no good answer. Energy per wave goes up as frequency. But you can get cooked by light, and microwaves can warm you pleasantly, or not affect you at all.
What light energy?
Light energy is a form of energy that is associated with visible light.Examples: The sun, , a lamp, or a lightbulb,, they are all forms of visible light.
What is visible light part of?
Visible light is part of what is called the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is electromagnetic energy, and so are radio waves, microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays.
Visible light and other waves of energy are forms of?
Visible light and other waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves unlike sound waves can travel through vacuums and do so at c (3x10^8 m/s). The spectrum is very broad and includes microwaves, ultraviolet , x-rays, and our own visible light spectrum. These waves are differentiated based on their frequency but all contain photons, mass-less charge-less particles, hence the dual nature of light (light and other waves behave both as particles and waves, confusing i know :P) basically what this means is that the only difference between visible light, x-rays, and microwaves is the frequency of the photon wave.
Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?
Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.
What is light is light energy?
Light energy is a form of energy that is associated with visible light.Examples: The sun, , a lamp, or a lightbulb,, they are all forms of visible light.
What travels more quickly visible light or microwaves?
They are both forms of electromagnetic radiation and, in a vacuum, would travel at the same speed.
Earth's atmosphere is mostly transparent to which forms of light energy?
visible
