The troposhpere is thick (relatively speaking) with gases and so more high energy EM waves are absorbed before they can reach the ground.

Is visible light a major part of the EM spectrum?

It is certainly a very important part, but it is not a major part; 'visible light' makes up only a tiny part of the EM spectrum.


Which of these statements about the EM spectrum is false?

Most of the EM spectrum is visible light.


What part of the EM spectrum do you use to see stuff?

That part is called "visible light", or just "light".


What part of the Em spectrum is the smallest part?

The smallest part of the electromagnetic spectrum is the gamma rays. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies among all types of electromagnetic radiation.


Why isn't sound a part of the em spectrum?

Sound is a mechanical wave, not an electromagnetic wave.


Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?

Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.


What two properties of a em wave change as you move from one part of the em spectrum to another?

Where is the cosmic rays radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?

Cosmic rays are not part of the EM spectrum -- they are high energy charged particles.


What is the part of the em spectrum that we can see?

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see is visible light. Visible light consists of the colors of the rainbow, ranging from violet at shorter wavelengths to red at longer wavelengths. This portion of the spectrum is detected by our eyes and is responsible for our sense of sight.


What is the highest frequency part of EM spectrum?

The highest frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum is gamma rays. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and highest energy of all electromagnetic waves.


What part of the em spectrum has the highest frequency?

The highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum is found in gamma rays. These rays have the shortest wavelengths and the highest energy levels of all electromagnetic waves.


Which part of the em spectrum can humans see colors?

Humans can see colors in the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which ranges from approximately 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red).
