There are an infinite number of "rays of light". We have arbitrary "groupings" that cover ranges of wavelenght / energy: # radio waves, low energy, long wavelength # micro waves, wavelength near 1 meter # infrared light, wavelengths bigger than a cell # visible light, wavelengths near the size of molecules # UV light # X-rays # gamma rays
All rays of light are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel in straight lines at a constant speed in a vacuum, and they can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed.
Light rays coming in are called incident light rays.
The light rays that bounce back are called reflected light rays.
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
The best color to use to reflect light rays is white. White is a reflective color. So are most light colors. So white is the best color to use to reflect light rays. :)
Radiation.
Light rays are a form of radiant energy. Light rays are the visible light region from around 400 - 700 nm. All types of electromagnetic radiation are radiant energy.
All rays of light are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel in straight lines at a constant speed in a vacuum, and they can be reflected, refracted, and absorbed.
"electromagnetic spectrum"
Light rays coming in are called incident light rays.
they are all part of the electro magnet spectrum :)
because they all travel at the same speed (speed of light)
The light rays that bounce back are called reflected light rays.
Rays of Light was created in 1999.
a magnifying glass, a telescope or microscope all do this.
We know that ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just as light is, and all EM waves propagate at the speed of light through a vacuum.
