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

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

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


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

Sound is a mechanical wave, not an electromagnetic wave.


What are the types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?

All electromagnetic (EM) waves are in the EM spectrum. This is from "ELF" (3-30hz) through visible light (300Thz+), out past gamma rays. Any wave above DC that broadcasts into space is part of the EM spectrum.


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

frequency and heat. (Color can change, too)


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.


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 relationship between and EM wave's wavelength and its location on the EM spectrum?

The EM spectrum is a chart of electromagnetic radiation, arranged by wave length. The chart may be arranged in ascending or descending order.Related Information:The charts could begin with radio waves, having the longest wavelength, and end with gamma rays, having the shortest wavelength or the order could be reversed.


What links a suntan to the EM spectrum?

A suntan is caused by the release of the pigment Melanin in the skin. This is the body's defensive response to harmful Ultraviolet radiation that makes up part of the Sun's rays. Ultraviolet is part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
