Best Answer

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 is the range of electromagnetic radiation detected by the eye?

Forms of electromagnetic radiation detected by the eye?

Visible light is a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is characterised by having a wavelength between 4x10-7m and 7x10-7m. The energy carried by a photon is Planck's constant divided by its wavelength.

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 form of electmagnetic waves does the sun give off?

The Sun emits radiation in all parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. However, the strongest intensity radiation is at wavelength of around 450 nanometers. This is in the visible region.
