Cosmic rays are not part of the EM spectrum -- they are high energy charged particles.

Where is visible light located on the electromagnetic spectrum?

to the far right And since your reading this, have you ever watch that episode of Regular show where Mordecai and Rigby enter a rap battle with the people from Loiter Squad? I like that one. :D


What Space words that begin with the letter i?

Infrared: A type of radiation that is not visible to the naked eye and lies beyond red light in the electromagnetic spectrum. Interstellar: Relating to the regions between stars in a galaxy. Ionosphere: The region of Earth's atmosphere that is ionized by solar and cosmic radiation, located between the mesosphere and exosphere.


What is the layer that contains your ozone shield made of?

The ozone shield is located in the stratosphere, a layer of Earth's atmosphere. It is made up of ozone molecules that absorb and block harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.


What kind of energy is gathered in the form of visible light radio waves and x-rays in order to learn about objects that exist far away in space?

Electromagnetic energy is gathered in the form of visible light, radio waves, and x-rays to learn about objects in space. Different telescopes and instruments are used to collect and analyze these electromagnetic signals to study the properties and behavior of celestial objects located far away.


How is it possible for stratospheric ozone to offer any protection from UV radiation?

Ultraviolet radiation is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths shorter than visible light. The sun produces UV, which is commonly split into three bands: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA is not absorbed by ozone. UVB is mostly absorbed by ozone, although some reaches the Earth. UVC is completely absorbed by ozone and normal oxygen. see related link

Where is infrared waves type of radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?

Infrared waves are located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than visible light, making them invisible to the human eye but detectable as heat.


What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?

The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum


What properties of gamma rays determine why it is found within the spectrum?

The only property that a ray or wave needs to have in order to be located within the electromagnetic spectrum is that it must be an electromagnetic wave. Gamma rays meet that requirement nicely.


Where is x-rays located on the Electromagnetic spectrum?

X-rays are located between ultraviolet rays and gamma rays on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have higher energy and shorter wavelengths than visible light.


Short note on light?

"Light" is a very narrow band of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum - approximately 400 nanometers (nm) to 700 nm. It is located between ultraviolet and infrared radiation and is special because we have evolved the capability to see this radiation as the light that we know and all of its colors.


Where is the microwave radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?

It's really quite simple actually... They lie right between the electro-convulsive synapse, and the photo-ludacritic cleft. It's a very delicate balance, even the slightest amount of refractive shift micteration and the whole spectratic waveform becomes unrecognizable to even the swiftest of retinal sphincters.


Where is infrared waves located on the electromagnetic spectrum?

Infrared waves are located between visible light and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than visible light, making them useful for applications like thermal imaging and communication.


What part of the electromagnetic spectrum does night vision lie?

The question is a lot like asking "What is the frequency of hearing ?", or "How fast is speed ?", or "How much does money cost ?". "Night vision" is the sensitivity of the human eye to extremely low light conditions, or the use of optical and electronic devices to render an invisible scene in visible wavelengths. It's not a type of radiation that can be located on the electromagnetic spectrum.


What is the Differential of ultraviolet ray from infrared ray?

Ultraviolet rays have more energy and a higher frequency, while an Infrared ray is essentially heat, which has less radiation, and a longer wavelength. Also, they are located lower of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

What protects the earth from harmful electromagnetic radiation?

The Earth's atmosphere acts as a shield, absorbing and scattering harmful electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet rays from the sun. The ozone layer, located in the stratosphere, specifically filters out most of the sun's harmful UV radiation, protecting life on Earth.
