Which property spells the difference between infrared and ultraviolet radiation?

Ultraviolet radiation means:ultraviolet: radiation lying in the ultraviolet range; wave lengths shorter than light but longer than X rays. Infrared radiation means: electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than visible light but shorter than radio waves.


What is the difference between nuclear radiation and electromagnetic radiation?

Nuclear radiation comes from the nucleus of an atom and includes alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic radiation comes from the movement of electrically charged particles and includes visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.


Is there a difference between thermal radiation and infrared radiation?

Thermal radiation is the emission of electromagnetic waves due to an object's temperature, encompassing a range of wavelengths including infrared radiation. Infrared radiation specifically refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum with longer wavelengths than visible light, commonly associated with heat.


What is the difference between conduction and radiation in terms of heat transfer?

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects or substances, while radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. Conduction requires physical contact, while radiation does not.


What is the difference between the transfer of heat by conduction and that by radiation?

Heat conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by direct contact between particles. Heat radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves through empty space. Conduction requires a medium, while radiation does not.

What characteristic determines the different kinds of radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum?

The distinguishing features between one type of electromagnetic radiation and the other are the frequency and the wavelength (the product of both is the speed of the wave - the speed of light).

How do electromagnetic light and visible light differ?

I've never actually heard the term "electromagnetic light" before.Visible light IS electromagnetic radiation. The only difference between light andother kinds of electromagnetic radiation ... like radio, microwave, heat, infrared,ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays ... is its wavelength (and frequency).


What is the difference between red radiation and infra red radiation?

Both are electromagnetic waves. The frequency is different, therefore, also the energy and the wavelength are different. Red is part of the visible spectrum - the range of electromagnetic waves we can see. Infrared is invisible for our eyes.


What is the difference between conduction and radiation in terms of heat transfer?

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects or substances, while radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. Conduction requires physical contact, while radiation does not.


What is the different between radiation and electromagnetic radiation?

Radiation: Comes from the churn of the atom, the churn is fissured. Electromagnetic: When electrons are jumping between the schells of the atom, vreating waves. (Pardon my bad science English language)

What causes the difference between the sun and earth's radiation wavelengths?

Unlike Earth and other solid objects, the entire Sun doesn't rotate at the same rate of gas and plasma, different parts of the Sun spin at different rates.


Infrared radiation is what type of energy?

Infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that falls between visible light and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum. It is commonly known as heat radiation because it is often felt as warmth when absorbed by objects.


What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 10.1fs?

The distance that electromagnetic radiation travels in 10.1 FS is the distance between the two points that it reaches. It can be different depending on how fast it is traveling.Ê
