Electromagnetic radiation is concerned with the movement of photons (individual, discrete 'packets' of light energy.) The frequency of electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to its energy and inversely proportional to it's wavelength. Thus, a higher frequency will mean that the photons have a shorter wavelength and have more energy.
Different frequencies, and therefore energies, of electromagnetic radiation will give it different properties. Because of this, the frequencies of electromagnetic radiation are divided into a spectrum based on the different properties of electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies. This spectrum goes from radio waves at the very low end to gamma rays at the other end.
See the link at the bottom for a diagram of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
However, in the below image the word 'heat' is wrong. Between Infra-red and Radio waves are microwaves.
Nuclear radiation is normally concerned with any form of radiation emitted as a result of radioactive decay, in which a large, unstable nucleus of an atom breaks down to form a more stable one.
There are three types of nuclear radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha decay is when an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle which is composed of two protons and two neutrons; i.e. it is effectively a helium nucleus. Beta decay is when an unstable nucleus emits a beta particle (an electron), and gamma emission is when an unstable nucleus emits high energy electromagnetic radiation called gamma rays.
Light is a form electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell predicted the speed of an EM wave, and it was found to be identical to that of light.It arose in the form of constants in the wave equation that falls out of Maxwell's four equations that summarize the relationships among electrodynamic and magnetic fields.
Yes alpha particle goes under goes electromagnetic radiations. when an atom is exposed to the magnetic field the alpha particle deviates right through right direction which indicates does have capacity to excite and emits radiations to come to ground level.
the two types of electromagnetic radiations next to visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum are the two types of electromagnetic radiations next to visible light in the electromagnetic spectrumAnswer2: Infrared and Ultra Violet are next to visible light.
Additional pigment in plants, other than chlorophyll, enable these to utilize maximum solar radiations. For example carotene and xanthophylls absorb those radiations which remain inaccessible to chlorophyll a & b.
Isotopes of a chemical element have the same number of protons and electrons but a different number of neutrons.A radioactive isotope is unstable and can emit nuclear radiations.
Radio.
electromagnetic radiations are formed due to the disturbances in electric and magnetic fields which are perpendicular to each other.
It blocks the UV part of the electromagnetic radiation. These are harmful radiations.
Electromagnetic spectrum is formed due to the difference of wavelengths and frequency of electromagnetic radiations as they are orderly distributed.
because they provide different strnght in different region
Yes they can. They are a form of electromagnetic rays and all types of electromagnetic radiations can travel in vacuum
... the ones we call "gamma rays".
X-rays (electromagnetic) and beta/alpha (particulate) are some examples of radiation.
The visible spectrum between red and violet.
Radio waves have the lowest frequency among electromagnetic radiations.
Electromagnetic radiation has both wave and particle properties. There's not really a "why" involved, that's just the way the universe is.
Beta rays are electrons, not electromagnetic.
