Most lasers aren't particularly dangerous as long as you don't stare directly into them. What danger there is comes from the fact that they produce coherent light, which is nearly as intense at long distances as it is close up due to the fact that it doesn't spread out much.

Which has the longer wavelength radar or light?

Radar waves typically have longer wavelengths than visible light. Radar waves can have wavelengths ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, while visible light wavelengths range from about 400 to 700 nanometers.


What are a characteristics of infared radiation?

They emit infrared light waves. Which is a non-visible light.Commonly used to provide light for infrared security cameras when there in little to no light visible light Also used in bathroom heat lamps to transmit the heat waves to your skin I believe (not sure) infrared is lower frequency than visible light and ultraviolet is higher frequency than visible light


What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?

Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.


What moves by giving particles a circular motion and are generate by energy that travels outward from the epicenter?

These are electromagnetic waves. They move by giving particles a circular motion and are generated by energy that travels outward from the epicenter. Electromagnetic waves include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.


What type of ray is emitted from the sun?

The sun emits a type of electromagnetic radiation known as visible light, which is essential for sustaining life on Earth. This light includes a range of wavelengths that our eyes can perceive as colors.

What are two different types of light waves?

Two different types of light waves are visible light waves and ultraviolet light waves. Visible light waves are the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can detect, while ultraviolet light waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light.

Where is visible light found in the electromagnetic spectrum?

Electromagnetism is manifest along a continuum between slower radio waves and faster energy gamma waves. Visible light can be found in the range between infrared light (slower than waves of visible light) and ultraviolet light (faster than waves of visible light).


Do visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves?

Yes, visible light waves have higher frequencies than radio waves. Visible light waves fall within the range of frequencies on the electromagnetic spectrum that is higher than radio waves.

Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?

Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.


Is light and electromagnetic waves are alike?

Light is the visible form of electromagnetic waves.


Are visible light waves mechanical waves?

No. They're electromagnetic waves.


What do mirror do to light waves?

there are three types of light waves i.e infrared light, visible light and ultra violet light. Out of these, only visible light rays (waves) gets reflected by the mirror but the other two light waves passes through the mirror.
