Radio waves

-excites spin of nucleus of used in MRI (non-invasive)

-responsible for AM, FM radio

2
New cards

Micro waves

-excites spin of electrons

-excites rotation of H_2O and fats around 12 cm to cook food

3
New cards

Visible

-300 to 800 nm

-excites valence electrons to higher energy level

-solution for H-atom(Balmer series)

-rays of detection for human eye

4
New cards

UV

-excites valence electrons

-Lyman series for H emissions

-causes sun burns

5
New cards

X-rays

-excites core electrons

-used in medicine for invasive imaging

-causes cell mutations so limit exposure

6
New cards

Gamma-rays (Cosmic rays)

-associated with decay of atom nucleus

-are emitted from stars, hence cosmic ray name
