We have detectors on our bodies to detect electromagnetic radiation that we refer to as 'light',
and also radiation in the far infrared that we refer to as 'heat'.

A lot of people think we're also able to detect EM radiation in other bands, but scientific experimentation
doesn't support that.

Electromagnetic waves sensed by the skin as heat?

Electromagnetic waves like infrared radiation are detected by skin receptors called thermoreceptors, which then send signals to the brain. The brain interprets these signals as heat, resulting in the sensation of warmth.


What three ways can differ electromagnetic waves from sound waves?

Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature where as sound waves are longitudinal. Electromagnetic waves can pass even through vacuum but sound waves are mechanical waves that means it needs badly a material medium Sound waves can be sensed by ear where as electromagnetic waves are sensed by eyes.


Which type of energy can be sensed by the eyes?

Visible light energy can be sensed by the eyes. The eyes contain light-sensitive cells called photoreceptors that detect visible light waves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy is responsible for enabling humans to see colors and perceive the world around them.


Is sensed a noun verb or adjective?

The word sensed is the past tense of the verb to sense.


True or false only radiant energy that is reflected is changed to thermal energy?

Therm means heat. Hence thermal energy is heat energy. Heat is sensed in the form of electromagnetic waves when transferred through free space. The same heat is sensed in the form of kinetic energy of molecules in case of fluids. The same heat is sensed in the form of vibrational energy in case of solids. Being in electromagnetic wave if the frequency becomes less than that of visible then it is named as INFRA RED radiation. So there comes a possibility of conversion of radiations of higher frequency into lower frequency due to reflection phenomenon. Hence the answer for the above question is TRUE.


Can energy be sensed?

Energy cannot be sensed directly with our physical senses, but its effects can be detected or felt in various ways. For example, we can feel warmth from thermal energy, see light from electromagnetic energy, or hear sound from sound energy. Some people believe they can sense subtle energy fields related to emotions or spiritual energy, although this is not scientifically proven.


What is the past tense of sense?

The past tense of sense is sensed.


How is a seismic wave sensed?

seismic waves are sensed with these special technology monitors that have the power of bats . bats cant see but when there going towards something they feel vibrations then they know were there going


Can infra red radiation be seen by humans?

NO not possible but could be sensed by the touch ie sensed as heat.

Why is violet light the coolest?

It seems coolest to our senses as it is furthest from the IR/Red sensed as heat, but in physics it is the hottest part (most energetic) of the visible spectrum. UV is hotter. X-rays are much hotter. Gamma rays are the hottest.
