The highest ever detected on the earth's surface is the EM radiation emitted from
the radio transmitters on top of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur and
from the TV transmitters on the Willis (Sears) Tower in Chicago.
(Air-to-ground communication, transponder, and radar signals emitted from
commercial aircraft in flight are judged in a different category.)
What else can I help you with?
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
What is the only way that energy from the sun can travel to the earth?
By radiation, mostly infra red, visible, and ultra violet EM radiation
How is EM radiation different from alpha and beta radiation?
EM radiation is essentially high energy light, with wavelengths ranging from 10 nanometers low energy x rays to 10 picometers high energy gamma rays. Beta radiation refers to high speed electrons while an alpha ray is a high speed proton.
Is ultraviolet radiation is visible or invisible?
It's detected by means of a camera that is sensitive to infra-red light. Visible light forms only a tiny portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which type of em spectrum has the highest The energy?
Gamma rays have the highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies, making them the most energetic form of electromagnetic radiation.
What does electromagnetic have to do with EM radiation?
EM is short for electromagnetic.
What is the highest frequency part of EM spectrum?
The highest frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum is gamma rays. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and highest energy of all electromagnetic waves.
How can you recognize EM radiation?
EM radiation can be detected by a variety of devices according to its frequency and its amplitude. For example, a radio receiver (Marconi effect) can be used to detect EM radiation in the radio range, your eyes or a photometer (photoelectric effect) for EM rads in the visible, IR and UV range, thermoluminescent detectors can be used for ionizing EMs, etc. One simple way to differentiate between EM radiation and particulate radiation is to place a plastic or thin metal shield between the detector and the source. Particulate radiation, such as alpha, beta, positron, typically will not penetrate plastic shielding, and your count rate or exposure levels will decrease. Whereas EMR is penetrable, and will traverse the plastic, needing something more substantial, such as lead, before showing signs of significant reduction in exposure.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy of all types of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced by radioactive decay and nuclear explosions.
At what speed does all EM radiation travel at?
In a vacuum, 3x10^8 ms^-1. Basically the speed of light, it is EM radiation afterall.
What type of light waves carry the most energy?
Gamma radiation is an extremely high frequency EM wave and is probably the common lightwave with the highest energy. Since energy is proportional to frequency, the highest energy wave would be that with the highest frequency.
What type of em radiation do conventional ovens use?
infrared radiation ;)<3
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
Which of the EM waves has the highest energy?
The ones we call "gamma rays" do. Their frequency is so high that in the time of one cycle, light travels only a distance similar to the size of an atom.
What part of the Em spectrum is the smallest part?
The smallest part of the electromagnetic spectrum is the gamma rays. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies among all types of electromagnetic radiation.
What EM waves that make an object feel warmer?
Infrared radiation is the type of electromagnetic wave that makes an object feel warmer. These waves are produced by the heat emitted from objects and are detected by our skin as warmth.
