Astronomers study as much of the spectrum of radiation as they can, and the visible spectrum is only a small segment of it.

Is violet radiation visible to human?

No, violet radiation is not visible to the human eye. It falls outside of the visible spectrum of light for humans, which ranges from violet to red.


The visible color of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest wavelength is?

The visible color of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength is violet. The wavelength of violet light ranges from approximately 380 to 450 nanometers.


What is visible electromagnetic radiation?

The visible spectrum between red and violet.


Does ultraviolet radiation have longer wavelengths then violet light?

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths than violet light. Violet light is at the end of the visible light spectrum with longer wavelengths compared to ultraviolet radiation, which falls just beyond the violet end of the spectrum.


What colors are beyond the ends of the rainbow?

A purely scientific answer is that there are no more colours beyond what you see in a rainbow. The rainbow constitutes the visible spectrum, meaning that it is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye as light. Beyond the red 'end' of the spectrum is Infra Red Radiation and beyond the violet 'end' is Ultra-Violet and beyond that X-rays. There is a Wikipedia article about the electromagnetic spectrum here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum


Is gamma radiation a high energy electrons?

No. It is electromagnetic radiation, beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum.


Is ultraviolet radiation visible or invisible?

By definition, ultra-violet light is outside the visible spectrum of EM radiation. Thus it is defined as invisible.


Why is ultraviolet radiation capable of producing this damage while visible radiation even if more intense does not?

Ultra violet radiation has more energy (E=hf) than visible radiation.


Is ultraviolet radiation a higher or lower energy radiation than visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation is of higher energy than visible light. Ultra-violet suggests that it is above violet in the spectrum, and the colour violet is the uppermost region of visible light.


Are red yellow and green the colors beyond violet light?

No, red, yellow, and green are not considered colors beyond violet light. Beyond violet light, there are ultraviolet rays, which are not visible to the human eye. Red, yellow, and green are part of the visible spectrum of light.


Is the colour of the ultra violet spectrum violet if not why was it given that name?

The ultraviolet spectrum is 'beyond' (ultra) the violet part of the visible spectrum, that is, beyond the short end of the wavelength range. The infrared spectrum is 'within' (infra) the long end of the wavelength range. The two terms have nothing to do with color, which defines the visible spectrum between violet and red.


What are the three types of radiation you get from the sun?

Ultra violet Infrared Visible light.....i think
