What are the 7 types of electromagnetic energy?

The electromagnetic spectrum includes, from longest wavelength to shortest: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays. To tour the electromagnetic spectrum, follow the links below!

What is the highest form of electromagnetic energy?

Gamma rays
Gamma rays have the highest energies and shortest wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum.

What is the lowest electromagnetic energy?

Radio waves
Radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. Microwaves have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared has still more, followed by visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.

What are the 3 ways we describe electromagnetic energy?

Electromagnetic waves can be described by their wavelengths, energy, and frequency. All three of these things describe a different property of light, yet they are related to each other mathematically.

What kind of light is produced by an electrodeless lamp?

Mercury vapor in the discharge vessel is electrically excited to produce short-wave ultraviolet light, which then excites internal phosphors to produce visible light. While still relatively unknown to the public, these lamps have been available since 1990.

How does an internal electrodeless gas discharge lamp work?

The internal electrodeless lamp or induction lamp is a gas discharge lamp in which an electric or magnetic field transfers the power required to generate light from outside the lamp envelope to the gas inside.

Where does the energy from a core lamp come from?

In external core lamps, high frequency energy from a special power supply called an electronic ballast passes through wires that are wrapped in a coil around a toroidal ferrite core placed around the outside of a portion of the glass tube. This creates a high frequency magnetic field within the ferrite core.

How are electromagnetic waves used in everyday life?

Electromagnetic radiation is the means for many of our interactions with the world: light allows us to see; radio waves give us TV and radio; microwaves are used in radar commu- nications; X-rays allow glimpses of our internal organs; and gamma rays let us eavesdrop on exploding stars thousands of light-years away.
