Sentences with phrase «radiation than your microwave»

But then I had to go through this research because your cellphone might be operating on a very different frequency of radiation than your microwave.

Not exact matches

I know exactly what microwaves do to my food (It seems I have a better understanding of non-ionizing radiation than most people here) and I am far from horrified.

I've been known to make things in the microwave instead of on the stovetop because I'd rather risk radiation exposure than clean a pot.

The result was another surprise: the researchers found that the universe was expanding a little faster than Lambda - CDM and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), relic radiation from the Big Bang, predicted.

This pervasive radiation contains slight irregularities where regions of compression or expansion in the early universe caused the microwaves to appear slightly hotter or cooler than average.

Terahertz radiation is also low energy, so if they are used to scan people, the waves are less dangerous than x-rays or microwaves.

The feeble glow of microwaves from the sun is absorbed by our air on the way down, anyway, so unless the core somehow also strips off Earth's atmosphere — in which case we have bigger problems than solar radiation — we should be safe enough from microwaves if our planet's center stops spinning.

Today's cellular networks and Wi - Fi systems rely on microwave radiation to carry data, but the demand for more and more bandwidth is quickly becoming more than microwaves can handle.

He matched this gap with an enormous «cold spot» — colder than the frigid temperatures of deep space — in the cosmic microwave background, the leftover radiation from the Big Bang.

Fabricating a device that captures optical wavelengths in the same way will not be easy, as visible light has a wavelength orders of magnitude smaller than that of microwave radiation.

The accuracy and the stability of optical clocks are mainly based on the fact that the frequency of the optical radiation used is higher (by several orders of magnitude) than that of the microwave radiation which is used in cesium atomic clocks, which makes optical clocks much more precise than cesium clocks.

According to standard physics, cosmic rays created outside our galaxy with energies greater than about 1020 electronvolts (eV) should not reach Earth at those energies: as they travel over such vast regions of space they should lose energy because of collisions with photons of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the radiation left over from the big bang.

The discrepancy — the universe is now expanding 9 percent faster than expected — means either that measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation are wrong, or that some unknown physical phenomenon is speeding up the expansion of space, the astronomers say.

«Other than the cosmic microwave background radiation, this is the earliest observation of any kind in the universe.

A full - sky map produced by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) showing cosmic background radiation, a very uniform glow of microwaves emitted by the infant universe more than 13 billion years ago.

Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths longer than the red end of visible light and shorter than microwaves, extending roughly from 1 micron (10 - 6 m) to 350 microns.

In the particular instance of so - called back radiation the reality is that if you point an IR spectrometer up at the night sky photons of far higher energy than the cosmic microwave background are hitting it.
