Gaps in a continuous spectrum?
Gaps in a continuous spectrum refer to specific regions or wavelengths where no emission or absorption lines are present. These gaps occur because certain energies or wavelengths are not allowed for an atom or molecule to emit or absorb, resulting in a discontinuity in the spectrum. These gaps can provide valuable information about the energy levels and properties of the atoms or molecules being studied.
What changes would you notice if human skin absorbed all the visible light that struck it?
Anything that absorbs all the visible light that strikes it appears totally black.
Visible light x ray infrared radiation and radio wave all have the same?
The best answer I can think of is "gauge particle." "Speed in a vacuum" is another possibility. The below, while true, does not really answer the question asked. ---- First, I have to explain radiation. Radiation consists of three types: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha radiation is destructive and is comprised of a helium nuclei, or two protons and two neutrons. Beta radiation is either an electron or a positron (I would read other sources for better information on this, it does not relate to the question). All of the rest, including gamma rays, are waves included in what is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. The sole difference is their wavelength, or distance between repetitions in the wave, and frequency, the time it takes for a certain number of wave units to pass a certain point, often expressed in waves/second, or Hertz. The electromagnetic spectrum and its components can be more thoroughly explained by other sites.
Which will have the longest wavelengths light waves X-rays or radio waves?
Of the items on that list, radio has the longest wavelength
and x-rays have the shortest.
Which colors are on the short side of the wave spectrum?
Violet and blue. The spectrum of visible light, from shortest to longest wavelengths can be listed as: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, red.
What type of telescope detects energy that is outside of the visible spectrum?
There is a large amount of specific - NEW -information about the goings-on in the Cosmos. Each type of answer to this Question has a huge NASA project associated with it! Infra-red is IRAS, ultraviolet, radio waves, X-rays, Gamma-ray bursts - each has its own astounding collection of new discoveries.
There are many telescopes that detect energy outside the visible spectrum. Some of the telescopes include infrared, Fresnel imagers, ultraviolet, and submillimetre telescopes.
No, some telescopes are designed to work with ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves, radio waves, or even gamma rays.
Well several telescopes detect invisible em radiations.. terrestrial telescopes in clude all Radio telescopes.. also there are several space telescopes which make observations in the invisible region of the em spectrum. eg. Chandra x-ray telescope, XMM- Newton, even Hubble space telescope (UV region).
What is the FT-IR wavelength for amide group?
Roughly I'd expect the the C=O band between 1600-1700 and the N-H around 3500-3700. Anyway it should be possible to google that in less than 2 min.
Which kind of waves are the longest Radar waves Radio waves Visible Light or Gamma Rays?
for wavelength, the longer of the two is visible light, but the longest type of rays are radio waves (some of them have a wavelength as long as a football field)
Do six colors make up visible light true or false?
If you can look around you and see more than six colors, then it's obviously false.
How replace 4runner tail light?
Open the tailgate. There are two bolts on the right side, of your left tail light. Should be a 10mm socket or a Philips screwdriver can also be used to remove them. The light is clipped in still to the body. You have to push the light to the left while keeping the light square to the body and it will pop out. Its important to push the light to the left not pull. Of course reverse for the passenger / right side.
When light is reflected is the color visible?
Yes. You can easily see the colors of your eyes,
your hair, and your shirt in the mirror.
Why do some forms of anemone glow?
Research has found that some anemone have a protein, now named cerFP505, that makes them glow when hit with a certain wavelength of light. If it is hit with a wavelength of 490 nanometres it will switch on, when hit with a light of 400 nanometres it will switch off.
What did you make the filter out of? Is there a pattern in it? If cloth of some sort, there would be a weave to it that would show up as dots.
The red line corrected for the unequal number of photons emitted across the visible spectrum would likely be a line that is flat or relatively constant across the visible spectrum. This correction aims to account for the differing sensitivity of the human eye to light of different wavelengths, providing a more accurate representation of how light exposure affects biological processes.
How does light affect how much sugar a plant makes?
Light gives necessary energy for the plants to produce sugar from carbon bi oxide and water. More the intensity of the light, more the sugar production is there. But there is higher side limit to the amount of maximum sugar that can be produced, in given time, by the given amount of green pigment.
Why does an incandescent light bulb produce a continuous spectrum that seems to favor red?
Actually the peak of the radiation from an incandescent light bulb is in the near infrared, not the visible spectrum. The visible light that you see is the falling upper sideband of this: very strong in the red and declining until it is weak in the blue and violet end with a very small amount of radiation in the ultraviolet. The lower sideband extends across the infrared and into the far infrared. Well under a third of the emitted electromagnetic radiation of an incandescent light bulb is visible light, most is infrared.
What is the only part of EMS that you can see?
Visible Light. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue And Violet.
What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
The light LOW ASH comes on when you take a turn what does it mean?
LO WASH means you are low on windshield cleaner fluid.
Do visible light and x-rays travel through different medians?
Yes, visible light and x-rays can travel through different mediums, such as air, glass, and water. However, they interact with the mediums differently due to their different wavelengths and energy levels. X-rays can penetrate denser materials more easily than visible light.
If you are talking about the brand of drink, Crystal Light is a solid (as a powder), and a liquid (when it is dissolved into water to make the drink).
If you are talking about light reflecting from a crystal, light is energy, not matter.
Why would the engine light be on in a 2001 Toyota Sienna if the fluids are topped up?
The check engine light does not indicate your fluids are low. There are separate lights for that. The MIL (or check engine light) indicates there is a problem with your fuel injection, ignition, emmisions or engine and a DTC (or diagnostic trouble code) has been stored. Your best bet is to pull the codes to find out why the light is on. This is the only way you will correctly identify and fix the problem.
