Does the light include radio waves or not.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Yes light include radio waves because, both light and radio waves are
Explanation of Solution
Light is an electromagnetic wave. It is composed of electric and magnetic components. These components are vibrating perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.
Light is part of a spectrum of electromagnetic energy that include radio waves, microwaves, infrared
Radio waves lie at the longer end of the spectrum of the electromagnetic energy. Visible light is simply electromagnetic radiation in a range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to. Ultraviolet
Conclusion:
Therefore, both the light and radio waves are electromagnetic waves.

- What are the differences between light waves and sound waves?arrow_forwardAn idealized radiating object does not reflect or scatter any radiation but instead absorbs all of the electromagnetic energy that falls on it. Can you explain why astronomers call such an object a blackbody? Keep in mind that even stars, which shine brightly in a variety of colors, are considered blackbodies. Explain why.arrow_forwardWhat is the wave's wavelength (lambda) & frequency (f)? What is the wave's magnetic field amplitude (B)?arrow_forward
- Calculate the frequency of yellow light with a wavelength of 580 x 10-9 m. pls make your answer clear and understandable, and avoid long explanation. + strictly no plagiarism. Thank you!arrow_forwardAnswer all. It is easy to answer all. Thanksarrow_forward6. The solar emission spectrum shown to the right is broad, meaning light is emitted over the Solar Emission Spectrum 4500 4000 entire visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, but it also has "dips" in the intensity. Search the web for "Fraunhofer 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 lines" and describe the cause of these "dips" in intensity. What specifically is the cause of the large "dip" at -760 nm? 200 400 600 800 1000 Wavelength (nm) Intensityarrow_forward

What does a scattering of light mean? Search about the Tyndall effect. Explain its importance.arrow_forward
- How does the dispersion of light occurs? explain.arrow_forwardWhat do we see the different wavelengths of visible light as?arrow_forwardAs light travels from air into water, what happens to the frequency of the light? Consider how the wavelength and speed of light change; then use the relationship between speed, wavelength, and frequency for a wave. What about light that is reflected off the surface of water? What happens to its wavelength, speed, and frequency?arrow_forward
