Johnna Wilhelm Ritter discovered the ultraviolet ray
In 1895, Wilhelm Rontgen discovered rays that he named x-rays. This discovery came while he was studying electric currents as they passed through gas that had very low pressure.
J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 while experimenting with cathode rays in a vacuum tube. By applying electric and magnetic fields, he observed that the rays were deflected, indicating they were composed of negatively charged particles. His measurements showed that these particles were much smaller than atoms, leading to the conclusion that they were fundamental components of matter. This groundbreaking work fundamentally changed the understanding of atomic structure.
he discovered that electrons and protons are inside an atom... which means that an atom is not the smallest.WRONG! - Though only the striked bold italics are.Thomson only discovered the electron. After initially researching cathode rays, he dabbled a bit, but was only re-interested in it about year later, because of another scientist's trial. This "other" scientist - using a collector - found that cathode rays had negative charges. Thomson, his cathode ray curiosity renewed, decided to experiment more. His experiment was also coincidentally with cathode rays and collectors. However, his specific experiment was used to discern the mass difference of the collector after firing cathode rays at it; this is what makes him important in history. He fully showed the existence of the electron (a formerly non-existant, smaller than an atom, subparticle) and formed a model based on it - famously known as the plum pudding model.- A.L
I agree with Rich that light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation encompasses a spectrum of waves, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Visible light is just the portion of this spectrum that is detectable by the human eye, making it a specific type of electromagnetic radiation. Thus, light and electromagnetic radiation are indeed closely related concepts.
Johann Wilhelm Ritter discovered ultraviolet rays i 1801. He discovered it when observing that sodium chloride becomes oxidized when exposed to certain types of light.
Ultraviolet light was discovered by Johann Wilhelm Ritter in 1801.
Bees can see ultraviolet rays.
Ultraviolet waves were discovered by the German physicist Johann Wilhelm Ritter in 1801 during his experiments with silver chloride. He found that invisible rays beyond the violet end of the spectrum had a photographic effect on silver chloride, leading to the discovery of ultraviolet light.
Yes, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays.
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
The next name of wavelengths longer than ultraviolet rays is "violet light".
Ultraviolet rays cannot be seen or felt. Ever had a sun-burn? I say UV rays can be felt.
This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
Sun Rays ^-^
UV rays
Too much exposure to the ultraviolet rays from the Sun can prove to be fatal.
