Electromagnetic Radiation

. . . wavelengths between roughly 380 and 750 nanometers.

From direct exposure to a massive dose of ionizing radiation, you can't. You can only pray that enough of your cells are left intact for you to survive.

However, ingested radioactive isotopes can be removed from the body by chelating agents, for example. But palliative care may be as much as you can hope for. Sorry.

The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs most of the incoming ultraviolet radiation from the sun. This absorption helps to protect living organisms on Earth from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum orders radiation from longest to shortest wavelength as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Basically it has to do with the blackbody spectrum.

Hot objects emit a broad spectrum of light, not just a single color. At the point where the temperature is such that the blackbody radiation peaks in the ultraviolet the overall spectrum is such that the emitted light appears to us as largely blue.

There may well be purple stars, but from our eyes, they appear blue. Our eyes, slightly deceive us.

See the related link for a picture of how our eyes perceive colour at a given temperature, and another for a video explaining in detail this question.

Our Sun would appear a kind of peach, if we had eye's better developed to a blackbody spectrum

Purple is a combination of blue and red. The light emitted by a star is of such a nature (black body radiation curve) that there is one predominate colour and lesser component of lower frequencies. (Higher frequencies are rapidly attenuated.) It is therefore impossible to get two colour emission peaks in both the blue and red of equal intensity - consequently no purple stars.

However you could have two stars closely orbiting each other: one blue and the other a red super giant, that at a great distance would look like a purple star, or a red star with a super hot white dwarf, that would work too. Interesting to note, the star Algol might fulfill this combination.

Yes, electromagnetic radiation weakens as you move further away from the source because it follows the inverse square law, which means the intensity of radiation decreases with the square of the distance from the source. So, the further you are from the source, the weaker the radiation will be.

Sunsets have always captured the imagination with their brilliant Calvin more so when people discover that sunsets vary depending on location, or when they discover an unusual or especially colorful sunset. Sunsets in the desert tend to be very orange, whereas the sunsets in urban areas tend to be muted and may have other colors like yellows and reds. But, whether in the deserts of Arizona or the high rises of New York City, all sunsets have two things in common: light and atmosphere

It seems there may have been a typo in your question. It's possible you meant electromagnetic wave, which is a type of wave that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. These waves can travel through a vacuum and are used for various purposes, such as communication and energy transfer.

Double refraction is when you can see through a mineral and it shows two images instead of one.

Calite is the mineral that exhibits it.

I linked a great website for this kind of stuff below.

sound waves are pressure waves that can push a thin membrane in a microphone. that membrane is attached to a magnet that moves through a loop of wires called a solenoid. the motion of a magnetic field moving through a solenoid generates an electric current (an electro-magnetic wave)

that signal can be transported down a wire and re-interpreted at another telephone.

The order of colors from longest to shortest wavelength is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet (ROYGBIV).

Gamma rays have the highest energy and are the most powerful waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electromagnetic radiation can be dangerous at high levels of exposure, such as from nuclear radiation or prolonged exposure to high energy sources like X-rays. However, everyday exposure to low levels of electromagnetic radiation from sources like cell phones and Wi-Fi is generally considered safe.

Alpha radiation is a type of nuclear radiation that consists of helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). It has low penetrating power and can be stopped by a piece of paper or clothing. However, it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, as it can damage living tissue and increase the risk of cancer.

Alpha radiation (a Helium atom with two neutrons) is very bulky, and therefore cannot penetrate physical objects easily. A sheet of paper will not absorb, but deflect the alpha particle.

Nope Uranium is a very widespread element in nature. All materials of construction, all foods, all waters and soils, etc. contain small amounts of uranium. Uranium concentration in bananas is so small that it is not of practical importance. Even human body contain a small quantity of uranium.

Electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light or radio waves, does not have mass since it consists of massless particles called photons. These photons do not have an electric charge either but can carry energy and momentum.

Foghorns use low frequency sound because it can travel long distances and penetrate through thick fog, aiding in navigation and warning other vessels of their presence. Low frequency sounds also have a more consistent and recognizable tone for mariners to distinguish in challenging weather conditions.

Petrol is highly flammable and can ignite instantly when exposed to a spark or high heat source. The presence of Bluetooth wave radiation does not affect the flammability of petrol directly, but any source of ignition near the petrol can cause a fire hazard. It's important to keep petrol away from any potential sources of ignition to prevent accidents.

The protective layer you are referring to is the ozone layer. It acts as a shield by absorbing most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation before it reaches the Earth's surface, thus protecting living organisms from the damaging effects of UV radiation. Continued depletion of the ozone layer due to human activities can lead to increased UV exposure and its associated health risks.

Yes. I had to have an MRI and they encouraged (borderline forced) me to listen to some music in headphones in order to distract from the noise of the equipment and keep me calm in order to yield a more accurate reading. :)

I knew this was true for an MRI, but is it also true for radiation therapy for advanced stage of cancer?

I'm not sure about that. Sorry. :( It is often ok, but many times therapists may need to speak to you and if you are unable to hear them, you will not be able to follow their instructions.

Materials that can deflect electromagnetic radiation include metals like aluminum and copper, as well as specially designed materials with electromagnetic interference shielding properties such as conductive fabrics and metal-coated plastics. These materials work by reflecting or absorbing the radiation to prevent its passage.

It could mean different things depending on the context. In computing for example, it is a value - either a 1 or a 0, otherwise known as a binary digit or a bit.

Geological radiation refers to natural radioactivity found in rocks, soil, and underground water due to the presence of radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium, and radium. This radiation is typically low-level and not harmful in normal environmental exposure but can pose risks if concentrated in high levels, such as in certain geological formations or near uranium mines.
