Since all such emissions are "black body radiation" (or pretty close), the correct answer is "light". All wavelengths... from the longest radio waves, to very energetic gamma radiation.

When astronomers study distant galaxies they notice changes to the waves they observe describe the change to the waves they observe?

Because the universe as a whole is expanding, distant galaxies are moving away from us. As a result, electromagnetic waves emitted by those galaxies experience what is known as a red shift. Their wavelengths get longer.


Do stars produce electromagnetic waves?

Yes, stars produce electromagnetic waves as a result of nuclear fusion reactions in their cores. The energy released during these reactions causes the stars to emit electromagnetic radiation across various wavelengths, including visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays.


What gives light in space?

Stars and other astronomical objects such as galaxies and nebulae give off light in space. Stars, like our Sun, generate light through the process of nuclear fusion in their cores, while galaxies emit light from billions of stars within them. Additionally, objects in space can reflect light from nearby sources or emit other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as infrared or radio waves.


What are 5 different light waves that are produced in the universe that we can't see?

Five different light waves produced in the universe that we can't see include infrared radiation, ultraviolet light, X-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves. Infrared radiation is often associated with heat, while ultraviolet light can cause sunburn. X-rays and gamma rays are high-energy waves used in medical imaging and produced by cosmic events, respectively. Radio waves are used for communication and are emitted by various celestial objects, including stars and galaxies.


What kind of electromagnetic waves do the hottest stars give off?

The hottest stars primarily emit electromagnetic waves in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. These stars, with surface temperatures exceeding 30,000 Kelvin, have significant energy output in the UV spectrum, which is much higher than that of cooler stars. Additionally, they also emit X-rays and visible light, but their peak radiation is typically in the ultraviolet range due to their high temperatures.

Do galaxies emit light?

Yes, galaxies emit light primarily from the stars within them. This light can range from visible light to other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, and X-rays. The light emitted by galaxies allows astronomers to study their composition, age, and distance from Earth.

How Electromagnetic Waves produced on surface of sun?

Electromagnetic waves on the surface of the sun are produced through the process of nuclear fusion in its core. The intense heat and pressure generated by nuclear reactions cause charged particles to move rapidly, creating electromagnetic radiation in the form of light, ultraviolet, and other wavelengths. These waves are then emitted from the sun's surface into space.


The electromagnetic waves with the highest energy?

Gamma rays have the highest energy among all electromagnetic waves, with wavelengths shorter than X-rays. They are produced by nuclear reactions, stars, and other high-energy processes in the universe.


Which of e following produces electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves are produced by accelerating electric charges or changing magnetic fields. Examples include light waves produced by the sun, radio waves from a radio antenna, and X-rays from medical equipment.


Do stars have electromagnetic waves and how is it a known fact of this information?

Stars don't have electromagnetic waves. They absorb them and release them. It is not a known fact because electromagnetism is only a theory for now. However, light that reach us from stars are said to be EM waves because visible light is theorized to be in the EM spectrum.
