Question
while performing an environmental survey, a physicist detects a high level of electromagnetic radiation in a controlled area. how can the physicist determine what kind of electromagnetic radiation is being detected?
measure the wavelength
measure the velocity
measure the charge
measure the mass
Electromagnetic radiation is characterized by its wavelength. Different types of electromagnetic radiation (such as radio - waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X - rays, and gamma - rays) have distinct wavelength ranges. The velocity of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is a constant ($c = 3\times10^{8}m/s$). Electromagnetic waves are uncharged and massless.
