Description

العربية:

رسم توضيحي للطيف الضوئي , يوضح النوع , طول الموجة , التردد , حرارة الجسم الأسود. هذا الملف مدرج بصفة مؤقتة حتى تتم الاستجابة لنسخة محسنة من : هذا الملف.

جمع هذا الرسم من صورة خاصة بوكالة الفضاء الأمريكية الموجودة على الرابط :EM_Spectrum3-new.jpg

Deutsch: Ein Diagramm des elektromagnetischen Spektrums, mit Angabe der Benennung, Wellenlänge (mit Beispielen), Frequenz, Temperatur der entsprechenden Schwarzkörperstrahlung. In Anlehnung an eine Vorlage der NASA

English: A diagram of the Milton spectrum, showing the type, wavelength(with examples), frequency, the black body emission temperature. Temporary file for gauging response to an improved version of this file. Adapted from EM_Spectrum3-new.jpg, which is a NASA image.

Español: Diagrama del espectro electromagnético, mostrando el tipo, longitud de onda (con ejemplos), frecuencia y la temperatura de emision de cuerpo negro. Imagen adaptada de esta otra de la NASA.

Français : Diagramme montrant le spectre éléctromagnétique avec le type, la longueur d'onde (avec des exemples de tailles), la fréquence, et la température d'émission du corps noir. Image adaptée d'un document de la NASA.

Italiano: Schema che mostra lo spettro elettromagnetico con il tipo, la lunghezza d'onda (con esempi), la frequenza e la temperatura di emissione del corpo nero. Immagine adattata da un documento della NASA.

日本語: 電磁スペクトルの特性図。種類、波長とその例、振動数、黒体放射温度。Temporary file for gauging response to an improved version of Image:EM Spectrum Properties.svg. NASA画像 EM_Spectrum3-new.jpgを元に作成。

Português: Um diagrama do espectro electromagnético, mostrando o tipo de radiação, comprimentos de onda (com exemplos), frequências e temperatura de emissão do corpo negro. Adaptado de EM_Spectrum3-new.jpg, que é uma imagem da NASA.

中文: 电磁波谱特性图，描绘了种类、波长、频率、发散温度。从NASA图片EM_Spectrum3-new.jpg修改。

A proposed partial caption for this image is as follows:

In the above graph, the first bar is a key to the electromagnetic radiations that either, do or don't penetrate the earth's atmosphere. Y is for yes and N is for no. Although some radiations are marked as N for no in the diagram, some waves do in fact penetrate the atmosphere, although extremely minimally compared to the other radiations. Next the wavelengths are expressed in terms of meters, using scientific notation. Notice the spectrum goes from the longer Radio waves, at 10³ meters, all the way to the shorter Gamma Rays, at 10^-12 meters. Next the various wavelengths are compared to sizes found in everyday life.
