What electromanetic wave can you detect with your skin?

You can detect infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic wave, with your skin. Infrared radiation is typically felt as heat and is responsible for the sensation of warmth when you are near a hot object or under direct sunlight.


What electromagnetic spectrum can a human eye detect?

A human eye can detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible light spectrum, which ranges from about 400 to 700 nanometers in wavelength. This encompasses colors ranging from violet to red.


Light demonstrates wave characteristics when it is?

Light demonstrates wave characteristics when it undergoes interference, diffraction, and polarization. These behaviors can be explained by the wave nature of light, where it exhibits properties such as superposition, bending around obstacles, and oscillations that are perpendicular to its direction of propagation.


Which type of electromagnetic wave do night vision goggles detect?

Night vision goggles detect infrared light, which is an electromagnetic wave with longer wavelengths than visible light. These goggles can amplify and convert infrared light into visible light to allow users to see in the dark.


What Would be the Advantage Of Continuous Wave Doppler Over pulsed Doppler?

Continuous wave Doppler allows for measurement of high velocities because it does not have a limit on the range of velocities it can detect compared to pulsed Doppler which has a limited range. Continuous wave Doppler is also able to detect continuous flow patterns whereas pulsed Doppler can only sample at specific points.

Does light behave primarily as a wave or as a particle when it interacts with a detector?

-- If the detector is designed to detect wave characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a wave when it encounters that detector. -- If the detector is designed to detect particle characteristics, then light exhibits all the characteristics and behavior of a particle when it encounters that detector.
