What else can I help you with?
Does the sun give off invisible light rays called microwaves?
No, the sun primarily emits visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light, commonly associated with communication and cooking technology.
Is visible light a form of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. Radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves.
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
What is the most familiar form of electromagnetic energy?
The most familiar form of electromagnetic energy is visible light. It is the range of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye and includes all the colors of the rainbow.
Why microwaves are dangerous for us and visible light is not?
The degree of interaction between water and microwaves is much greater than that between the former and visible light. As such, microwaves heat up water while visible light does not -- visible either goes though water or bounces off it. Since our bodies consist of a lot of water, microwaves hitting us would cause us to heat up fairly rapidly -- exactly like food in a microwave oven. Getting cooked in a microwave oven is a LOT more dangerous than being illuminated by a lot of visible light.
Are microwaves a form of light?
There is no good answer. Energy per wave goes up as frequency. But you can get cooked by light, and microwaves can warm you pleasantly, or not affect you at all.
Are microwaves visible to humans?
No, microwaves aren't visible to humans. Microwaves are electromagnetic energy, and the only electromagnetic energy humans can see is that of visible light.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
Are microwaves are a form of visible light?
No. If you take the light bulb out of the microwave oven, then you can't tell by looking at it whether or not it's running.
Does the sun give off invisible light rays called microwaves?
No, the sun primarily emits visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light, commonly associated with communication and cooking technology.
Is visible light a form of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. Radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves.
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
What is the relationship between microwaves and wavelength?
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation that have longer wavelengths compared to visible light. The relationship between microwaves and wavelength is that microwaves have wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to 1 meter, which is longer than the wavelengths of visible light.
Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
Does a microwave use light energy?
yes its does because when the microwave is on and the plate is rotating,the light is actually heating the food. It is not the visible light that does the heating, that is provided simply so you can see inside the oven. It is the microwaves that do the heating, by agitating molecules of water in the food. That's why you can't heat dry food in microwave oven. The microwaves are EM radiation like visible light, but a different wavelength.
What are some forms of radiation?
Visible light, radio, television and microwaves.
Do radio waves microwaves and waves all have longer wavelengths than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
