Aside from all the radio signals generated by Man, the Earth radiates primarily in the Infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This consists of reflected and re-radiated solar heat and 'black body' radiation from the Earth itself. (The reflected radiation includes some components of shorter wavelength such as visible light, but the re-radiated component is essentially all infrared.)

Do darker colors absorb more microwaves?

"Color" is a way of describing how an object interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum. This has no impact whatsoever on how it interacts with electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region of the spectrum. So, no, they don't.


Is light the same thing as electromagnetic radiation?

Yes, visible light makes up the middle region of the Electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, light is a form electromagnetic radiation.


What region of the electromagnetic spectrum is 1100nm?

It lies in infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum.


In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the resonant frequency of electrons in glass?

I think in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.


Which part of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity?

The visible light region of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity. This is the range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to, making it the most prominent part of the spectrum for us.


Is heat radiation called infrared radiation?

Yes, heat radiation is often referred to as infrared radiation because it falls within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is the type of electromagnetic radiation that we feel as heat when emitted by objects.


What kind of radiation does hot things give out?

Hot things give off infrared radiation, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This type of radiation is invisible to the human eye but can be felt as heat on the skin.


What is the range of electromagnetic radiation detected by the eye?

The human eye can detect electromagnetic radiation within the visible light spectrum, which ranges from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength. This corresponds to the colors of the rainbow, including violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.


How do you relate electromagnetic spectrum where do the waves that are commonly called light fall on the spectrum?

The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Light, the waves commonly referred to, falls within a specific region of this spectrum, primarily in the visible spectrum. This includes wavelengths of light that our eyes can detect, ranging from approximately 400-700 nanometers.


Which best describes visible light in relation to other forms of electromagnetic radiation?

Visible light is a small region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is characterized by a specific range of wavelengths and frequencies


What is just above visible light on electromagnetic spectrum?

As you increase frequency past violet light, to the region where the eye no longer perceives it, you're in the "ultraviolet" region.


What is the most narrower region of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Visible region.
