Why cant you use visible light to see molecules?
because light used to see an object must have a wavelength
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
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
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.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation do all warm bodies emit?
Warm bodies emit infrared radiation.
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).
How does the wavelength of the infared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum differ from that of the visible portion of the spectrum?
I have no clue Laugh out loud
What has a wavelength longer than visible light?
Assuming you mean other electromagnetic waves: that would be infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
How does the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation change as its frequency decreases?
It becomes longer
What has a wavelength longer then the wavelengths of visible ight?
Infrared radiation.
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.
Does infred waves have the same wavelength as visible light waves?
Infrared radiation is not visible. Its wavelength is longer than red.
Does Infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible light?
Because that's the name we have given to the electromagnetic radiation at the end of the spectrum with the longest waves.
What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength slightly longer than the visible light?
infrared
