Why don't we use visible-wavelength telescopes to locate neutron stars?
A neutron star emits most of its energy at higher frequencies.
What type of radiation causes sun burn?
UV, or "ultraviolet" radiation from the Sun. UV radiation has a higher frequency and shorter wavelength than visible light does, and carries more energy.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength next to but is longer than visible light?
Infrared is longer.
What color of light does the sun give us?
All colors. As well as electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longerthan the longest visible ones and shorter than the shortest visible ones ..."colors" that we can't even see.
Does earth's atmosphere block all radiation equally?
No. There are significant differences between different types of radiation. Visible light and radio waves go right through (and reach Earth's surface); most other radiations are absorbed.
Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
What are the forms of radiation?
Alpha, Beta, Neutron, X-ray, Gamma, Neutron radiation, Electromagnetic radiation, Visible light, Infrared, Microwave, Radio waves, Very low frequency (VLF), Extremely low frequency (ELF), Thermal radiation (heat) and Black body radiation.
What terms describe a type of radiation that reaches the Earth from the Sun?
Electromagnetic waves, mainly visible light.
What radiation is given off by a nuclear bomb?
prompt (at time of explosion) - neutron, gamma, x-ray, UV, visible, thermal (IR), some radio.delayed (fallout) - beta, gamma, some alpha.Types of radiation called "ionizing radiation" - alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, neutron.
What does solar energy reach earth by?
Solar energy reaches the earth by two means, Electricity and Gravity.
Which form of electromagnetic radiation is visible?
Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible.
Is there a picture of the protons and neutrons of beryllium?
No we are not able to see proton neutron or electron by visible electromagnetic radiation. So no one have picture of it, but these can be detected by various sensors.
How does the heat from the sun reach your bodies?
The Sun's energy reaches Earth in the form of "electromagnetic radiation". Most of the heat is carried by the visible light, but there are other parts of the "spectrum" of radiation involved such as the infra-red. Much of the heat reaches you after being absorbed by the Earth in various ways and given out again. This heat contains a lot more infra-red than direct sunlight.
What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Gamma radiation is of lower energy than visible radiation?
No. Gamma radiation is of higher energy than visible (light) radiation.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
What type of energy travels as visible radiation?
Optical Light is visible radiation energy.
