What else can I help you with?
Why cant you use visible light to see molecules?
because light used to see an object must have a wavelength
What is ture of the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Wavelength lambda and frequency f are connected by the speed c of the medium. c can be air = 343 m/s at 20 degrees celsius or water at 0 dgrees = 1450 m/s. c can be light waves or electromagnetic waves = 299 792 458 m/s. The formulas are: c = lambda x f f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
Can a blackbird see ultaviolet color?
The Kestrel can see into the Ultraviolet Spectrum. A human eye can see between 400nm - 700nm ( Visual Wavelengths. ) It is also correct to describe the human eye as being able to see between 4,000 - 7,000 Ångströms; The Ångström is simply another unit of measurement, like nm which = nanometers, on the Electromagnetic Spectrum. The smaller the number, as in 4,000 Ångströms, means that the wavelength is shorter, thus the electromagnetic radiation is of higher energy. As opposed to longer wavelengths such 7,000 Ångströms, which is closer to the Infrared. The Kestrel can image wavelenths as short as 3,000 Ångströms, or in correct notation, 3 x 10-7½
Why do astronomers continue to build even larger telescopes?
Radio telescopes allow us to see things that can't be seen in visible light. And vice versa, optical telescopes can show things that are not visible in radio telescopes. So, the information from both kinds of telescopes really complements each other.
Does a star 'explode' or 'implode' into a blackhole?
The usual term is "collapse". This happens when the gas and radiation pressure, or degenerate pressure, is no longer enough to counteract gravity.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength next to but longer than visible light?
Infrared radiation.
Infrared light is what?
It is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than that of visible light.
How does the wavelength of the infared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum differ from that of the visible portion of the spectrum?
The wavelength of infrared radiation is longer than that of visible light. Infrared radiation has wavelengths ranging from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, which are longer than the 400-700 nanometer wavelengths of visible light.
Infrared radiation has a wavelength slightly longer than?
Infrared radiation has a wavelength slightly longer than visible light. It falls within the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and visible light, with wavelengths ranging from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter.
Is visible light a shorter or longer wavelength energy in this spectrum?
Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.
Which end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum has longer wavelength Red or Blude?
Deep dark red is the visible light with the longest wavelength. Violet is the visible light with the shortest wavelength.
Is infra red same as radiation?
Yes, infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that has a longer wavelength than visible light. It is commonly referred to simply as infrared or IR radiation.
How does the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation change as its frequency decreases?
As the frequency of electromagnetic radiation decreases, its wavelength increases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in electromagnetic waves, as defined by the equation speed = frequency x wavelength. A lower frequency corresponds to a longer wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What types of electromagnetic radiation has longer wavelengths than visible light?
Some types of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light include infrared radiation, microwaves, radio waves, and long-wavelength radio waves. These forms of radiation have wavelengths that are not visible to the human eye but are used in various applications such as remote sensing, communication, and cooking.
What type of long wavelength radiation fills space?
Electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, and infrared waves, fills space as long wavelength radiation. These forms of radiation have lower frequencies and longer wavelengths compared to visible light.
How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?
Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).
Does heat have shorter or longer wavelength than light?
Heat does not have a specific wavelength because it is a form of energy transfer rather than a specific type of electromagnetic radiation like light. Heat is typically associated with infrared radiation, which has longer wavelengths than visible light.
