All Radiation Wavelength

Most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near room temperature is infrared. The wavelength of uv rays is shorter than the violet end of the visible spectrum but longer than the x ray.

Light or visible light is a very narrow range of electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength that is visible to the human eye or 380750 nm which equates to a frequency range of 790 to 400 thz respectively.

All radiation wavelength. In physics the term light sometimes refers to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength whether visible or not45 in this sense gamma rays x rays microwaves and radio waves are also. Uv is the longest wavelength radiation whose photons are energetic enough to ionize atoms separating electrons from them and thus causing chemical reactions. Other wavelengths especially nearby infrared longer than 700 nm and ultraviolet shorter than 400 nm are also sometimes referred to as light.

Em radiation with a wavelength between approximately 400 nm and 700 nm is directly detected by the human eye and perceived as visible light. When a black body is at a uniform temperature its emission has a characteristic frequency distribution that depends on the temperature. Electromagnetic spectrum the entire distribution of electromagnetic radiation according to frequency or wavelengthalthough all electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum they do so at a wide range of frequencies wavelengths and photon energies.

The electromagnetic spectrum comprises the span of all electromagnetic radiation and consists of many subranges commonly. As with all emr ir carries radiant energy and behaves both like a wave and like its quantum particle the photon. More broadly physicists use the term light to mean electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths whether visible or not.

Ir wavelengths extend from the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum at 700 nanometers frequency 430 thz to 1 millimeter 300 ghz. Natural sources produce em radiation across the spectrum. Electromagnetic em radiation is a form of energy that is all around us and takes many forms such as radio waves microwaves x rays and gamma rays.

An object that absorbs all radiation falling on it at all wavelengths is called a black body. Conversely all normal matter absorbs electromagnetic radiation to some degree.
