Is there an equation for force due to electromagnetic radiation?
For example, is there a force due to orange light?
For example, is there a force due to orange light?
yes: F=dp/dtIs there an equation for force due to electromagnetic radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation is a type of energy that is transmitted through space in the form of waves. It includes a wide range of wavelengths, from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays.
Electromagnetic radiation interacts with matter through the transfer of energy. When the energy of the radiation matches the energy of electrons in the matter, the radiation can be absorbed and cause changes in the matter.
Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules, which can cause damage to living cells. Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to cause this type of damage.
Visible light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It has wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers and is responsible for the colors we see in the world around us.
The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is measured in units called watts per square meter (W/m²). This measures the amount of energy that is passing through a specific area in a given amount of time.
