Will it emit all frequencies lower than visible light? For example, a candle will emit all radiation, but no higher than visible light.
Visible light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It consists of wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers and includes the colors of the rainbow.
Some common examples of things that emit visible light include the sun, light bulbs, fire, and computer and phone screens.
Something emits visible light when its atoms or molecules absorb energy and then release it in the form of photons, which are particles of light. The specific color of the light emitted depends on the amount of energy absorbed and released.
Yes, any object that has a temperature above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius) will emit some form of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. However, not all objects emit visible light that is visible to the human eye.
Visible light is crucial in many scientific fields, including astronomy, biology, and physics. It allows us to see and study the world around us, from the smallest particles to the most distant galaxies. It also plays a role in photosynthesis, human vision, and many other biological processes.
