What else can I help you with?
The sun transfers most of its energy to the earth by means of?
radiation
Most all energy comes to and leaves earth in the form of?
Heat.
Does radiation transfer energy by moving neutrinos?
Neutrinos are one form of radiation, but not a very efficient one for transferring energy since they readily penetrate most forms of matter. Other forms of radiation such as alpha, beta, gamma, and even neutrons are more effective at energy transfer.
Are x-rays the most powerful solar radiation?
No, that would be gamma rays. They have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays are what cause radiation sickness and death when people are exposed to them for even a short time.
How is gamma radiation used in medicine?
gamma radiation is used in cancer treatment. the most common source of gamma radiation is.
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
What is the electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength called?
The electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength is called a gamma ray. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy of all types of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced by radioactive decay and nuclear explosions.
What wavelength of electromagnetic carries the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
Why is radiation with shortest wavelength the most powerful?
In our Universe, EM radiation can only come in discrete chunks called "photons." The energy of each individual photon depends on the frequency of the EM radiation. Frequency depends on wavelength (or vice-versa): the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. Thus, short wavelength photons have more energy. That's just how our Universe operates, whether or not we like it.
Why is radiation with the shortest wavelength actually the most powerful?
I assume you are talking about electromagnetic radiation.If the wavelength is shorter, the frequency is larger. And the energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency.
What type of radiation has the most energy?
Gamma radiation has the most energy among the different types of radiation, as it has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency. This high energy allows gamma radiation to penetrate deeply into materials and tissues, making it both useful in medical treatments and hazardous in terms of radiation exposure.
What electromagnetic waves carries the most energy?
Gamma rays carry the most energy among electromagnetic waves. They have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, making them the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation.
Compare Gamma Rays wavelength and energy to other forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest energy of all forms of electromagnetic radiation, making them the most penetrating and ionizing. They are produced by nuclear reactions and radioactive decay. In comparison, visible light has longer wavelengths and lower energy levels.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
The what Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma waves?
"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).
