How do electromagnetic radiations differ?

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.


What type of electromagnetic waves are visible?

types include (in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength): radio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays


Why are the colors in the electromagnetic spectrum put in that order?

The colors in the electromagnetic spectrum are put in that order based on their wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies and are seen as violet, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies and are seen as red. This progression follows the visible light spectrum from shortest to longest wavelengths.


Roy g. biv ian?

Roy G. Biv is an acronym that represents the colors of the rainbow in order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This acronym helps people remember the sequence of colors in a rainbow.


What are the colors on the rainbow?

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. An easy way to remember is roy g. biv

Are rainbows part of visible radiation?

A rainbow shows the optical (visible) part of the electromagnetic spectrum; infrared (if you could see it) would be located just beyond the red side of the rainbow with ultraviolet appearing just beyond the violet end. The way to rembember the colors of the rainbow are Roy G Biv, meaning Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.


What does roy g biv look like?

like the colors of the rainbow. violet has the least wavelength or the greatest frequency possible that humans can see and marks one end of the visible spectrum in the electromagnetic spectrum. red has the highest wavelength or least frequency possible that humans can see and marks the other end of the visible spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum.

How do you pronounce bivouac?

Veterans of the army will pronounce this "BIV-wak". Others may pronounce the middle "OU" : "BIV-oo-ak". When in doubt, pronounce it "camping out".
