When scientists talk aboutelectromagnetic radiation what are they really describing?
Electromagnetic radiation is also known as electromagnetic waves. That are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles. Electromagnetic energy is a term used to describe all the different kinds of energies.
How do the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum differ?
In the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation the wave property that changes is the frequency. So for example xrays have higher frequency then blue light which has higher frequency then red light which has higher frequency then radio waves etc.
What is the role of electromagnetic radiatin in remote sensing?
Electromagnetic radiation is used in remote sensing to collect information about the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation interact with materials in unique ways, allowing scientists to identify and analyze various features and properties from a distance. By measuring the reflected or emitted radiation, remote sensing can provide valuable data for applications such as mapping, monitoring, and environmental assessment.
Is infrared a type of radiation ray?
yes so is am fm radio and tv signals
What is a unit of radiation wavelength?
In SI system, unit of wavelength is meter. Any way meter is a large unit so we use Angstrom and some times nanometer. Angstrom (Ǻ) equals to 10 -10 m and nano metre equals to 10-9 m. The range of wavelength for visible light is from 3700 Ǻ to 7200 Ǻ.
What is the property that creates the different kinds of electromagnetic waves?
wavelength
How does the electromagnetic spectrum organize the different types of energy waves?
The electromagnetic spectrum organizes different types of electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength or frequency.
How is wavelength important in defining the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Wavelength is critical for defining the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum because it determines the type of electromagnetic radiation in that region. Different wavelengths correspond to different types of electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. By categorizing electromagnetic waves based on their wavelengths, scientists can understand their properties and interactions with matter.
What is a chart that arranges into different categories according to wavelength?
electromagnetic spectrum
How is visible light different from the other waves and rays on the electromagnetic spectrum?
It has a different wavelength and frequency.
What is a form of electomanetic energy that can be described in terms of wavelength?
Radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy, the light as we saw is part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum of around 400 - 700 nm. When we generally speak of electromagnetic wave length we usually refer to radio to microwave of wavelength around 10-2 to 103 m but the whole span of wavelength from gamma ray to radio wave counted as electromagnetic wave.
What kind of waves are microwaves?
Electromagnetic waves, just like light, but with different frequency and wavelength.
What is different about each type of electromagnetic wave?
Each type of electromagnetic wave differs in terms of frequency, wavelength, and energy. For example, radio waves have low frequency and long wavelength, while gamma rays have high frequency and short wavelength. These differences determine the properties and behaviors of each type of electromagnetic wave.
What do the different colors of visable light represent?
Different colors of visible light represent different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. Visible light ranges from violet (shorter wavelength) to red (longer wavelength), with each color corresponding to a specific wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum. Each color has a unique energy level and frequency, which determines its appearance to the human eye.
If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave decreases what will the wavelength do?
It will become longer, and it will carry less energy, its also likely, that if the change or loss in frequency is enough, the radiation will become a different type of electromagnetic radiation in the spectrum like gamma to x-rays or visible light to infrared and so on.
What characteristics are different between visible light and the portions of the electromagnetic spectrum the are not visible?
Frequency and so wavelength
What do you observe with the wavelength and frequency of the different colors?
As the color of light changes from red to violet, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases. This relationship is known as the inverse proportionality between wavelength and frequency, as different colors have different wavelengths and frequencies that define their place on the electromagnetic spectrum.
