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).

How did herschel discover the infrared wave?

He directed sunlight through a glass prism to create a spectrum (the rainbow created when light is divided into its colors) and then measured the temperature of each color. Herschel used three thermometers with blackened bulbs (to better absorb heat) and, for each color of the spectrum, placed one bulb in a visible color while the other two were placed beyond the spectrum as control samples. As he measured the individual temperatures of the violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red light, he noticed that all of the colors had temperatures higher than the controls. Moreover, he found that the temperatures of the colors increased from the violet to the red part of the spectrum. After noticing this pattern Herschel decided to measure the temperature just beyond the red portion of the spectrum in a region where no sunlight was visible. To his surprise, he found that this region had the highest temperature of all.


Is the James Maxwell discover that light is transverse elecromagnetic wave?

Yes, more or less. James Clerk Maxwell predicted that an electromagnetic wave would propagate at the speed of light. Therefore, he also suspected that light was an electromagnetic wave. This was confirmed later.Yes, more or less. James Clerk Maxwell predicted that an electromagnetic wave would propagate at the speed of light.

Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has a wavelength in between infrared and uv?

The band of the electromagnetic spectrum that has a wavelength between infrared and ultraviolet is the visible light spectrum. This is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye and includes colors such as red, green, and blue.


What is the name of the region of the electromagnetic spectrum that is found between the wavelengths of 400 and 700 nm?

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum between 400 and 700 nm is known as the visible light spectrum. This is the range of wavelengths that the human eye can perceive, which includes the colors of the rainbow.


The part of the electromagnetic spectrum you can see is called ultraviolet light?

Actually, the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see is called visible light, not ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light is outside the visible spectrum and is not visible to the human eye.
