unusual facts about electromagnetic radiation


Siena Blaze

Siena Blaze has the power to fire deadly force blasts of electromagnetic energy.


Callier effect

In the absence of scattering, the attenuance provided by the emulsion is independent of the collimation of the illumination; a dense point absorbs a big portion of light and a less dense point absorbs a smaller portion, irrespective of the directional characteristics of the incident light.

George Adolphus Schott

During Schott's early years at Aberystwyth he published his classical work on electromagnetic radiation, which follows the work laid down by Alfred-Marie Liénard.

Laser science

Albert Einstein created the foundations for the laser and maser in 1917, via a paper in which he re-derived Max Planck’s law of radiation using a formalism based on probability coefficients (Einstein coefficients) for the absorption, spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation.

Polarization spectroscopy

Polarization spectroscopy comprises a set of spectroscopic techniques based on polarization properties of light (not necessarily visible one; UV, X-ray, infrared, or in any other frequency range of the electromagnetic radiation).

Time reversal signal processing

Some media are not reciprocal (e.g. very lossy or noisy media), but many very useful ones are approximately so, including sound waves in water or air, ultrasonic waves in human bodies, and electromagnetic waves in free space.

Einstein coefficients

Stimulated emission (also known as induced emission) is the process by which an electron is induced to jump from a higher energy level to a lower one by the presence of electromagnetic radiation at (or near) the frequency of the transition.

Mobile phones on aircraft

Following OnAir's series of tests that showed electromagnetic radiation of onboard GSM mobiles being lower than 1% of the limits endorsed by the World Health Organization and so significantly below radiation levels of common terrestrial emission levels, inflight usage of mobile phones is considered harmless to passengers' health.
