At GCSE level, students are generally introduced to the electromagnetic spectrum and its different regions, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. While specific wavelength values may not be required, understanding the order of the spectrum and the general properties of each type of wave is essential. At A-level (Year 12), a deeper understanding of wavelengths and their applications may be necessary, particularly in physics and chemistry contexts.
The property that determines a visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum is wavelength. Visible light has wavelengths ranging from about 400 to 700 nanometers, with shorter wavelengths corresponding to violet light and longer wavelengths corresponding to red light.
The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.
We know that ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation is light that is higher in frequency than the light in the visible spectrum. It may be possible to argue that other shorter wave radiation could also be included, but the question has the feel of one that might be asked by an investigator who is beginning an inspection of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Let's keep it simple and begin at the beginning, shall we?
You could certainly call it that if you like, but most people wouldn't know what you mean. Many of them would understand you better if you called it the "electromagnetic spectrum", (while the rest would still be lost).
The human eye can view the visible light spectrum, which is a segment of the electromagnetic spectrum. It has been concluded that the human eyeball can reveal wavelengths that vary from about 400 to about 700 nanometers.
Many particle physicists, radiation specialists, opticians and ophthalmologists have gotten togetherand named that part of the spectrum the "visible light" band.
Yes, light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes a range of electromagnetic waves with varying frequencies and wavelengths, of which visible light is just a small portion.
It is a spectrum. I know this because i am currently in physical science class and we just discussed it. Unless my teacher and book are wrong, this is right.
The scientific name for colors of the rainbow is "visible spectrum" which is composed of the electromagnetic wavelengths of light that are visible to the human eye. These colors include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Honestly i don't know but i think it is yellow
We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
my name is suresh babu idnt know answer u bledy
