What else can I help you with?
What do x rays have that allow them to carry a lot of energy?
One of the properties of electromagnetic radiation is that when viewed according to the 'particle' model, the energy carried by each particle ("photon") is proportional to its frequency. So, as you go up the spectrum in frequency (downward in wavelength), each photon carries more energy. This is the best intuitive explanation for why a beam of radio or red light shining on a metal surface can't dislodge electrons from the metal no matter how intense the beam is, but a beam of ultraviolet light or X-ray can do it no matter how dim the beam is.
What color is visible light sprectrum has the most energy per photon?
A photon's energy is directly proportional to its frequency (inversely proportional to its wavelength).In any given interval of the spectrum, the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy.For visible light, that corresponds to the violet end of the 'rainbow'. The last color your eyes can perceiveat that end is the color with the most energy per photon.
What time of the day is uv radiation most intense?
the peak times of radiation are 10 am and 3pm
How is the electromagnetic spectrum divided?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum consists of: (From least intense to most)Radio WavesMicrowavesInfraredVisible LightUltraviolet LightX-RaysGamma Rays
What is the amplitude of the visible light spectrum?
It is not meaningful to talk about "amplitude of the visible light spectrum". One might think that more intense light would mean greater amplitude of the light wave, but it just means more photons. "Visible light" is made up of photons. A single photon has a certain quantifiable energy, and that energy is discussed in terms of frequency or wavelength. A photon with low frequency (towards the red end of the visible light spectrum, for instance) is less energetic than a photon with high frequency (towards the blue end and beyond). For all intents and purposes, the amplitude of a photon wave-packet could be said to be of "unit amplitude", the amplitude of light.
Is Microwave radiation of very high intensity harmful?
Yes, radiation of any frequency can be harmful when it is intense enough.
Why is ultraviolet radiation capable of producing this damage while visible radiation even if more intense does not?
Ultra violet radiation has more energy (E=hf) than visible radiation.
The frequency of one type radiation emited by cesium-133?
Cesium 133 is the stable isotope of the family of cesium isotopes and thus has no nuclear radiation breaking out of its nucleus. The only radiation from cesium 133 would be an emission spectra data in the blue visible light zone with a few less intense lines across the visible spectrum.
The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in?
The sun emits its greatest intensity of radiation in the visible light spectrum. This is the range of wavelengths that our eyes can detect, making it the most intense and dominant type of radiation that reaches the Earth.
Why is the sun red and not blue like gas?
The Sun is not red. Its radiation is most intense in the yellow-green part of the spectrum, which is why it is called a "yellow dwarf" star.
Is radiation used by lights?
Visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, in frequency between infra-red and ultra-violet. Light is therefore radiation, though its energy is not harmful to us-we have evolved to be able to use it without harmful effects, provide it is not too intense as it can be with lasers for instance, or looking directly at the sun. Ultra-violet on the other hand is harmful, this is what causes sunburn.
How does the radiation emitted from the sun differ from the radiation emitted by earth?
The Sun emits a broader spectrum of radiation, including visible light, ultraviolet rays, and infrared radiation, while Earth primarily emits infrared radiation due to its lower temperature. The Sun's radiation is much more intense and has higher energy compared to the radiation emitted by Earth.
Where on the electromagnetic spectrum is our sun's energy the highest concetration?
The highest concentration of the Sun's energy is in the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is the range of wavelengths that our eyes can perceive and where the Sun emits the most intense radiation.
What is intense radiation?
Intense radiation refers to high levels of electromagnetic waves or particles emitted from a source. This can include forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, or energetic particles like protons or electrons. Exposure to intense radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms and materials.
When is solar radiation most intense?
Solar radiation is most intense around noon when the sun is directly overhead. This is because the sunlight has the shortest path through the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in maximum intensity.
Where is sun energy less intense?
The further you get away form the sun the less intense its radiation gets.
Where is the sun's energy less intense?
The further you get away form the sun the less intense its radiation gets.
