What else can I help you with?
The entire range of em waves is called the?
The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.
Does a electromagnetic spectrum consists of sound waves and light waves?
No, the electromagnetic spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves, which include light waves but not sound waves. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to travel, while electromagnetic waves do not require a medium and can travel through a vacuum.
Why can't we see all type of waves in electromagnetic spectrum?
We can't see all types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum because our eyes are only sensitive to a small range of wavelengths known as visible light. Other types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, are not detectable by the human eye. These different types of waves have different frequencies and energies which our eyes are not equipped to perceive.
Which em wave is only a small band within the broad electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is the electromagnetic wave that falls within a small band of the broad electromagnetic spectrum. It is the only portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye.
Is light waves the only one humans can see?
No, humans can see a limited range of light known as the visible spectrum, which includes colors ranging from red to violet. Light waves outside of this spectrum, such as ultraviolet and infrared, are not visible to the human eye.
What waves are only in the spectrum and are in the middle?
infrared rays are in the middle, and if it is for color it is green or yellow

Most of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are?
Invisible. The only light is in the visible light section. lol. :)

What is Visible light only a small portion of?
Visible light is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes a wide range of wavelengths such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Transverse waves that vibrate in one direction only are called....?
Polarized waves.
Are sound and light the only types of waves?
No, there are many other types of waves including the waves that carry radio and television signals, often called VHF and UHF waves (Very High Frequency and Ultra High Frequency). Microwaves come next and they are used for cooking and also as carrier waves for cell phones and other telecommunication. Next is the infrared spectrum which are heat-emitting waves (they can be felt as heat on the body), then the visible spectrum which we refer to as light (or color). Above this, the ultraviolet spectrum occurs, then x-rays, then gamma rays, all of which can be damaging to the human body due to their short wavelengths and, therefore high frequencies which give them extremely high energy and penetrating power. And then, of course there are waves on the ocean, waves in your hair, and waves at football and hockey games!
What are the waves that the partices of the medium move only in the same direction as the motion of the wave?
Such waves are called Longitudinal Waves.
