What else can I help you with?
What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
In the electromagnetic spectrum what is the radiation on either side of visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation lies on the shorter-wavelength side of visible light, while infrared radiation lies on the longer-wavelength side. Ultraviolet has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light, while infrared has lower energy and longer wavelengths.
Which color of light in the visible spectrum has the highest energy?
Photons with higher energy correspond to electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency/shorter wavelength. In the visible band, the color with the highest frequency is the last one you can see on the VIOLET end of the spectrum.
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
How are visible light radiowaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation different from each other?
The only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see is the small yet significant part of visible light. Visible light is not harmful for humans, but some of the other types of waves are.
What determines the difference between types of electromagnetic radiation?
The difference between types of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, visible light, or X-rays, is determined by their frequency and wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency and shorter wavelength has more energy and is more harmful to biological tissues. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all these types of radiation.
X-rays are what kind of energy?
An X-ray is a highly energetic form of electromagnetic radiation. It is like visible light, only of higher frequency (shorter wavelength).
What is an electromagnetic radiation in the wavelength range including infrared visible ultraviolet and x-ray?
Blue light is in the visible wavelength range.
What are electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength between that of visible light and that of X-rays?
Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between visible light and X-rays is called ultraviolet radiation. It is known to have shorter wavelengths and higher energy than visible light, and is commonly associated with effects like sunburn and skin damage from excessive exposure.
What characteristic of an electromagnetic wave is associated with the energy of that radiation?
The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to the energy of the radiation. Higher frequency waves have higher energy levels.
Are xrays electromagnetic in nature?
Yes, X-rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with higher energy and shorter wavelength than visible light. They are commonly used in medicine for diagnostic imaging.
What is the difference between light energy and radio wave energy?
Visible light and radio waves are both two types of the same radiation (electromagnetic waves). The difference is that visible light has a higher frequency; a higher energy per photon; and a smaller wavelength.
Are uv and infra red light visible?
"UV" (ultra-violet) is radiation with shorter wavelength/higher frequency than visible. Infrared is radiation with longer wavelength/lower frequency than visible.
When describing electromagnetic radiation there is a(n) relationship between wavelength and frequency and the greater the frequency the energy the electromagnetic radiation has. A) direct less B) dire?
The relationship between wavelength and frequency in electromagnetic radiation is inverse - shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies. Higher frequency radiation carries more energy, as energy is directly proportional to frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
Are Gamma rays and radio waves both higher frequency than human vision can detect?
No. Visible light is in between those particular forms of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are lower frequency (longer wavelength) than visible light. Gamma rays are higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than visible light.
In the electromagnetic spectrum what is the radiation on either side of visible light?
Ultraviolet radiation lies on the shorter-wavelength side of visible light, while infrared radiation lies on the longer-wavelength side. Ultraviolet has higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light, while infrared has lower energy and longer wavelengths.
