| The visible light
which allows us to see, radio waves that allow us to listen to songs and
watch tv, microwaves that heat our food, and infrared waves that are emitted
by warm objects. These forms of radiation make up the electromanetic spectrum.
All forms of this spectrum, all the different kinds of radiation, travel
at the speed of "light". Actually, you could probably denote it
"the speed of radiation". We visualize the radiation as waves.
The only difference between a microwave and visible light is that their
wavelength (the distance between the 2 peaks of the imaginary wave) is that
a microwave is typically feet longer than visible light waves. |
