Question

Compare visible light and ultraviolet radiation by identifying similarities and differences in their properties.

Answer 1

Answer:

Visible light is the white light the human eye can perceive. ... Infrared light has a high frequency and is ore energetic, thus the heat energy, while ultraviolet is a lower frequency or less energetic. The lower end of the spectrum also includes microwaves and radio waves.

Answer 2

All types of electromagnetic radiation fall under the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.

• Radiation is defined as energy that travels and expands out as it does so; for instance, visible light from the a light in a house and radio signals from a music station both are instances of electromagnetic waves.
• The electromagnetic spectrum also includes additional types of radiation such as microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays.
• UV radiation from the Sun causes skin to burn and become brown.
• Objects in space also release extremely hot UV radiation.
• Airport security employs X-rays to inspect your suitcase, same as dentists use to scan your teeth. In the cosmos, heated gases also release X-rays.
• The region of the electromagnetic radiation which the naked eye can see is known as the visible spectrum.
• This group of frequencies is most commonly referred to as visible light. The range of wavelengths that the human eye can typically see is from 380 to 700 nm.
• The visible light wavelengths split into to the rainbow's hues as it passes through a prism since each colour has a unique wavelength.
