Sentences with phrase «like electromagnetic waves»

And, it is hypothesized that gravitational waves are responsible for transporting energy in the form of gravitational radiation — much like electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic radiation.

There are many different types of changes in an ambient environment — some very fast like electromagnetic waves, some very slow like the accumulation of pollutants in the air, and some with rapid onsets and offsets but long durations like rainfall.

Like any electromagnetic wave, a laser beam contains an electric field that whips back and forth.

So there need to be two sides in symbiosis with mutual exchange and division of labor, progressing into the future like an electromagnetic wave, or like the left plus right hemispheres of the brain.

Not exact matches

At present, we have quite detailed knowledge about molecules, ions, atoms, elementary particles, electromagnetic waves, electric fields and all kinds of material processes, but we are still not yet able to say what «matter» ultimately is like.

Nevertheless X-rays were definitely a form of electromagnetic radiation that moved as a wave, like light.

X-rays and gamma rays were soon recognized as different forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves and visible light but more energetic.

For instance, just as accelerating charges produce electromagnetic waves (like visible light), accelerating masses should create gravitational waves — ripples in space.

Just as we use various electromagnetic wavelengths such as visible light, infrared and X-rays to study the cosmos, gravitational waves will act as a brand new eye on the universe, potentially giving us greater insight into objects like black holes and neutron stars.

Light from the stellar remnant, a neutron star located about 400 light - years away, is polarized, meaning that its electromagnetic waves are oriented preferentially in a particular direction like light that reflects off the surface of water (SN: 7/8/06, p. 24).

In a new paper, electrical engineers at Duke University demonstrate the first completely dielectric (non-metal) electromagnetic metamaterial — a surface dimpled with cylinders like the face of a Lego brick that is designed to absorb terahertz waves.

Optical technologies can finagle light in the shorter - wavelength visible and infrared range, while electromagnetic techniques can manipulate longer - wavelength radiation like microwaves and radio waves.

Far from being empty, modern physics assumes that a vacuum is full of fluctuating electromagnetic waves that can never be completely eliminated, like an ocean with waves that are always present and can never be stopped.

Mészáros notes that the gravitational waves looked like they came from objects smaller in mass than black holes, which pointed to neutron stars, and that the electromagnetic emissions separately correlated to the event provide two ways to show proof - positive that this is a neutron star merger.

They are electromagnetic waves like visible light but situated at the high energy / short wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum, between ultraviolet light and gamma rays.

It was the first cosmic event in history to be witnessed via both traditional telescopes, which can observe electromagnetic radiation like gamma rays, and gravitational wave detectors, which sense the wrinkles in space - time produced by distant cataclysms.

Gravitational waves come in a range of frequencies, just like light (electromagnetic radiation).

However, undesirable substances like toxins, viruses or bacteria can impede communication, preventing those cells from functioning properly.Bioresonance therapy uses a machine called the BICOM device to receive and measure electromagnetic waves that are emitted from the body.

Though invisible, like radio and cell phone waves, electromagnetic energies have a powerful effect on all living things.

The nonfunctional loops look just like the real deal, but they don't emit any electromagnetic waves, hence they are considered a placebo treatment.

I can't force you to think about this, but please note, in traditional science heat and light from the Sun are two entirely distinct from each other categories and not interchangeable, so, when «heat and light from the Sun» are mentioned together like this, by «heat» is meant the Sun's thermal energy on the move to us, radiant heat, the electromagnetic waves of thermal infrared aka longwave infrared, and by «light» is meant visible.

It's too smooth even at this time scale.It looks like a sine wave or the propagation of an electromagnetic or sound wave, maybe damped down a little in amplitude as it moves toward the present.
