How is seeing related to wavelength?
The human eye can only detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum, Typically, wavelengths of 390 to 750 nm fall within the visible spectrum. Radiation with these wavelengths are called visible light or simply light.
How spectroscopy works?
Spectroscopy is basically the study of the spectrums of visible and non-visible light rays. Specifically, it is determining the output of radiation an object has along the spectrum. This is called a wavelength.
What is the light called that the retina can detect?
"visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types. "visible light." it has a shorter wavelength than other light types.
What are all the radiations?
Radiation is photon or light. We give name for radiation by its' range of wavelength. Those with wavelength < 0.001 nm is called gamma ray, those below gamma to just about 0.1 nm is x-ray and those below x-ray are UV and visible light. Our visible light is light with wavelength 400-700 nm below that are infrered, microwave and radiowave.
What is longer than visible wavelength called?
Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a lower frequency, than visible light.
What is the light that is not visible to the human eye?
Electromagnetic radiation having a wavelengths between 380 - 750nm is visible to the normal human eye. This region of the spectrum is called visible light. Radiation of any other wavelength cannot be seen with the naked eye
Electromagnetic waves just outside the violet end of the visible spectrum would be what?
If you're listing them in the order of increasing frequency, then infrared comes just before visible. If you're listing them in the order of increasing wavelength, then ultraviolet comes just before visible. If you're monitoring the energy spectrum from a distant galaxy, then nothing comes before visible, because all electromagnetic waves travel through space at the same speed.
What kind of radiation can you see?
That is called visible light.That is called visible light.That is called visible light.That is called visible light.
What is electromagnetic radiation with medium wavelengths called?
Look at the list of electromagnetic radiations; there is a large variety of them, but you'll have to decide for yourself what you consider "medium wavelength".
What has the shorter wavelength ultraviolet or infrared?
The infrared (IR) radiation has a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The former is below the visible spectrum, and the latter is above that visible (sometimes called optical) spectrum. However, IR radiation does not have the longest wavelength in the Electromagnetic Spectrum. That would be the Radio Waves. Additionally,: The prefix Infra- suggests "standing under, sub-, inferior to" (IR: Standing under Red light waves) The prefix Ultra- suggests "standing beyond" Violet light waves
Why do stars vary in colors?
It is a consequence of something called blackbody radiation. Any object that is not at absolute zero emits electromagnetic radiation. The higher the temperature the cooler At temperatures we usually fin on Earth that radiation is in the infrared range. Hot enough objects emit much of their radiation as visible light. The coolest stars emit mostly red light, which has the longest wavelength of visible light. The hottest stars are blue, as blue light has a shorter wavelength.
