Radio waves(:

From Rafaelrz: Electromagnetic radiation is the propagation of vibrating electric and magnetic fields in the form of waves. Electromagnetic radiation has wave properties and has a whole series of frequencies. Visible light is only a small part of the whole spectrum ( The electromagnetic radiation spectrum ), from the wavelength of about 0.40 to 0.76 microns. Other radiations that conform this spectrum are; gamma radiation, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, infrared radiation, microwaves, radio waves.

The term 'radiant energy' or 'radiant heat' is frequently used to refer to 'thermal

radiation', which is the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelength

from about 0.1 to 100 microns. Notice that the spectrum of light lies in the spectrum of thermal radiation.

And so this radiation is responsible for heat transferbetween bodies at different temperatures separated by vacuum space (or transparent medium) . This is the radiation mechanism of heat transfer, being the other two important ones conduction and convection.

The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represent a large portion of the spectrum?

Yes, the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum consists of wavelengths between approximately 400 to 700 nanometers. This range is a small portion of the entire electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represents a large portion of the spectrum true or false?

True. The visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represents a specific range of wavelengths that can be detected by the human eye, making up a significant portion of the overall electromagnetic spectrum.


Is the following true or false the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum represents a large portion of the spectrum?

False


What portion of the engergy spectrum is visible light?

Visible light is in the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) light.


What matches with radiant heat on the electromagnetic spectrum?

Radiant heat corresponds to infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum. This type of heat is emitted by warm objects and can be detected as heat by our skin or specialized sensors. Infrared radiation is commonly used in technologies like infrared heaters and thermal cameras.


Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has a wavelength in between infrared and uv?

The band of the electromagnetic spectrum that has a wavelength between infrared and ultraviolet is the visible light spectrum. This is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye and includes colors such as red, green, and blue.


What is the range of light called?

The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.


Is all electromagnetic radiation in the optical portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is visable?

No, not all electromagnetic radiation in the optical portion of the spectrum is visible to the human eye. The visible portion of the spectrum ranges from about 400 nanometers (violet) to 700 nanometers (red), but there are wavelengths outside of this range that can also be classified as part of the optical spectrum, such as ultraviolet and infrared light.


The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye is known as?

The (not surprising) name is "visible light."


What is the only radiant energy that you can see?

The only radiant energy that I can see is the radiant energy that I call "visible light".It is the main source of my ability to perceive that Grant's Tomb is indeed colored orange.


What is the radiant energy that acts upon the retina?
