Visible light waves are beneficial for the human race, in that they make it possible for us
to see stuff as we go through daily life, helping us immeasurably to avoid the dangerous
and embarrassing risks of bumping into things, falling over things, stepping in stuff, and
generally stumbling around blindly. In modern times, these waves are also utilized in the
traffic signals at major intersections, which are responsible for keeping vehicular traffic
flowing smoothly and with equanimity.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is light visible or invisible and why?
Light is both Visible, and Invisible. It depends on what frequency of light it is, and also what Species you are. For example, we Humans can't see ultra violet light but some animals, like Snakes, can see it.
What are 3 benefits of being multicellular?
multicellular organisms are able to do much more specialized functions than single cell organisms. for example a dog can see visible light waves because it has eyes that are specially built for seeing some types of light while a single cell organism cannot see light or do very many things besides eat.
What do colors have to do with visible light?
The visible light contains wave lenghts from 200nm to 800nm. 200 nm corresponds with the violet/blue colour and 800nm and around corresponds with red colour. Above 800nm wave lenght of the light is called infrared and below 200nm - ultraviolet. The shortest the lenght, the higher the energy. After ultraviolet we have radio waves, micro waves, X-rays, etc.
Give some examples of electromagnetic radiation and how the relate to visible light?
Examples of electromagnetic radiation include radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. Visible light is a specific range of electromagnetic radiation that our eyes can detect, falling between ultraviolet and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are some examples of of waves?
radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x-rays
What are some examples of electromagnetic waves?
radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x-rays
Which kind of waves are the longest Radar waves Radio waves Visible Light or Gamma Rays?
for wavelength, the longer of the two is visible light, but the longest type of rays are radio waves (some of them have a wavelength as long as a football field)
What kind of wave are electromagnetic waves?
radio waves
Which electromagnetic waves are produced by the sun?
Visible light because some of the energy that reaches the earth from the sun is visible light. The visible light from the sun is white light. White light is visible light of all wavelengths combined. Light from lamps in your home as well as from the fluorescent bulbs in your school is also white light.
Is all electromagnetic waves invisible?
No, not all electromagnetic waves are invisible. While some, such as radio waves, microwaves, and infrared waves, are invisible to the human eye, others, like visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays, can be seen or detected with the right equipment. For example, visible light waves are responsible for the sense of sight.
What are the most visible electromagnetic waves on earth?
The most visible electromagnetic waves on Earth are visible light. This type of electromagnetic radiation is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. Visible light is responsible for the colors we see in the world around us.
What are some examples of visible waves?
All the things I look at are reflections of visible light waves. I seldom get more than waist deep in the ocean waves. The wind waves over a mountain are shown by hogsbacks, or cumulo-nimbus clouds - strongly striated and layered horizontal clouds continuously forming at the leading edge and vanishing at the trailing edge.
What are some example of spectrum?
Visible light, gamma rays, x rays, radio waves, microwaves
What are some examples of transmission waves?
Examples of transmission waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, and visible light waves. These waves are used to transmit information and energy through various mediums.
What are characteristic of light waves?
Visible light waves are electromagnetic waves, within a certain range of frequencies. The wavelength of visible light is between about 400 and 700 nm. Some of the characteristics of electromagnetic waves include:* Carried by particles called photons* The wave is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields* In a vacuum, this wave (and the photons) propagates at the so-called speed of light, which is about 300 million meters/second.
What are some examples of periodic waves?
Examples of periodic waves include ocean waves, sound waves, and the electromagnetic waves that make up visible light. These waves exhibit a pattern of repeating peaks and troughs over time or space.
