How do you build a natural electromagnetic wave spectrum detector?
That depends on what range of wavelengths (frequencies) you want to detect. It's almost impossible to build a detector that responds to all wavelengths, so you select the band you're interested in, and build a detector optimized for that range of the spectrum. Here are a few examples of detectors, by wavelength: -- very longest, down to 1 millimeter . . . . . a radio receiver -- 1 millimeter down to 750 nanometers . . . . . absorbent material and a thermometer -- 750 nanometers down to 350 nanometers . . . . . your eyes, camera, photo-film, etc -- 350 nanometers down to 10 nanometers . . . . . ultraviolet techniques -- 10 nanometers down to 0.01 nanometer . . . . . X-ray film or crystallography -- less than 0.01 nanometer . . . . . photomultipliers detect light produced when gamma rays impact crystalline material.
What wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation possess sufficient energy to be microbicidal?
Less than 300nm
What are wavelengths less than a meter?
Microwaves have very long wavelengths, on the order of 1 - 1000 meters. Visible light has much shorter wavelengths, on the order of 10^-9 meters. In between would be something like infrared (IR) with wavelengths in the range of about 0.3 mm to 700 nm (7x10^-7 m).
Is one mile greater than one kilometer?
A kilometer is smaller because 1 mile is 1.6 kilometers.No, miles are bigger than Kilometres, as 5 miles are the same as eight kilometres.No it is not a mile is bigger. A mile is 1.6 kilometers
How many meters is in 3.9 nanometers?
idk if this helps but A nanometer is a unit of measure. Just like inches, feet and miles. By definition a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter. A meter is about 39 inches long. A billion is a thousand times bigger than a million, as a number you write it out as 1,000,000,000. That is a big number and when you divide a meter into one billion pieces, well that is very small. So small you cannot see something a nanometer in size unless you use very powerful microscopes like atomic force microscopes.A nanometer is used to measure things that are very small. Atoms and molecules, the smallest pieces of everything around us, are measured in nanometers.For example a water molecule is less than one nanometer. A typical germ is about 1,000 nanometers. We can measure even larger things in nanometers, so a hair is about 100,000 nanometers wide. That is a lot of nanometers! Shaquille O'Neal, a very tall basketball player, is 2,160,000,000 nanometers tall.Inside of your computer are tiny switches that are only 100 nanometers wide. About 1,000 of these switches can fit across the width of a single hair. Modern computers have about 100,000,000 switches packed inside, stacked one on top of another. We use nanotechnology to make these tiny switches.And a lot of important things happen at the nanometer scale. We can think of the smell of freshly baked cookies and that is something that happens on the nanometer scale. The molecules that are released from the cookie when it bakes are less than a nanometer in size and so they are carried through the air to our noses because they are so small. Gravity does not have much of an effect on them and so they float along. They reach our noses and when they are very very close, less than a nanometer away, we can smell them.
What is the complete range of electromagnetic wave frequencies and wavelengths?
Electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the full range of wavelength?
The full range of wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum extends from extremely short gamma rays with wavelengths less than 0.01 nanometers, to extremely long radio waves with wavelengths over thousands of kilometers.

What is electromagnetic's relative wavelength?
The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a wide range of wavelengths, from very long radio waves with wavelengths of kilometers to very short gamma rays with wavelengths less than the size of an atomic nucleus. The specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation depends on the specific type of wave being considered.
What wavelengths of light does the eye respond to the most?
The human eye is most sensitive to wavelengths of light between 400-700 nanometers, known as the visible light spectrum. This range includes the colors of the rainbow: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Outside of this range, the eye is less sensitive to light.
What is the wavelength range of a microwave?
10 centimeters or less If you mean "microwave oven", those operate at the frequency of 2.45 GHz, where the wavelength is 12.24 centimeters.
What is the complete range of electromagnetic wave frequencies and wave lengths?
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of a wide range of frequencies and wavelengths, spanning from gamma rays with frequencies above 10^19 Hz and wavelengths less than 0.01 nm, to radio waves with frequencies below 10^3 Hz and wavelengths greater than 0.1 km. It includes visible light, ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, and X-rays among others.
Is the redshift wavelengths are longer and less frequent?
Yes, it is.
Is a millimeter more or less then a kilometer?
A millimetre is less than a kilometre.
Is one kilometer greater or less than 600 meters?
GREATER KILOMETER = 1000 METERS
How many meter in 1 kilometer 400 less than 2 kilometer?
600 metres.
Why are short wavelengths of EM radiation less common then medium wavelengths?
Shorter wavelengths, like gamma rays and X-rays, require more energy to produce than longer wavelengths like visual light.
