-- Because they can't be efficiently transmitted or collected, on account of the

ridiculously humongous antenna size required.

-- Because they're too strongly absorbed by atmospheric gases or water vapor.

-- Because they can't be generated with currently available technology.

Why can telescopes only see some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Simply because there is a small magnet inside that is only powerfull enough to see some parts.


What parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are you exposed to in a year?

You are exposed to various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum throughout the year. These include visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and some forms of radio frequency radiation. The levels of exposure can vary depending on factors such as the time spent outdoors and proximity to sources like electronic devices.


Why is it useful to examine the universe using parts of the electromagnetic spectrum other than visible light?

Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum give different types of information.Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum give different types of information.Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum give different types of information.Different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum give different types of information.


How much of the electromagnetic spectrum does visible wavelengths makes up?

Visible wavelengths make up a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, approximately 0.0035%. They range from about 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength, corresponding to the colors we can see with our eyes.


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.

Why are some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum called light and others called waves?

No reason. Light is an electromagnetic wave so you can call any part of the spectrum either.


Is the visible spectrum dangerous?

No, it is not dangerous. It is just the colors that are absorbed by the light. Some parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are dangerous, however. To learn more in depth and to get more of an explanation on the visible spectrum and the electromagnetic spectrum, visit wikipedia.

Why can you see some of the spectrum and not all of it?

Humans can see a limited portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called visible light, which ranges from red to violet. Our eyes have evolved to detect these wavelengths, as they are most relevant for our survival. Other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared and ultraviolet, are invisible to us because our eyes lack the receptors to detect them.


What are some animals that can locate the electromagnetic spectrum?

It is not at all clear what you mean by locating the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetism exists at innumerable locations throughout the universe. Vision is a sense that uses a part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and lots of animals can see. Some animals, such as bees, can see in ultraviolet frequencies that the human eye does not see.


How you receive heat and light from the sun?

Energy from the Sun reaches Earth as radiation from various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of this energy . Some of this energy is converted to heat. Some remains as visible light.

What are some problems in using various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum?

It is very easy to use!


What are some devices that involve electromagnetic waves that we can't see?

Some devices that involve electromagnetic waves that we can't see include microwave ovens (use microwaves), X-ray machines (use X-rays), and radio transmitters (use radio waves). These devices operate on different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, beyond what is visible to the human eye.


What type of wave has the longest wavelength?

Radio waves are amongst the shortest. Gamma and X rays are shorter. The long wave lengths are at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum. These are called 'infra red,
