Introduction “Ultraviolet rays” (UV rays) are the portion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum varying from the ending of the visual light coverage to the X-ray area. These rays are harmful to the human skin and eyesight. Continued consumption of “ultraviolet rays” can cause several disorders. Additionally, the “ozone layers” consumed a large number of “UV rays”…

Introduction A Scintillation counter is basically an instrument that assists in detecting the radiation. Scintillation is mentioned as the flash of light that is created by transparent material because of the passage of subatomic ions, electrons, photons or alpha particles. Scintillation is a huge part of the detector and it ideally comprises Scintillator and photodetector.…

Introduction The phenomenon of separation of colors in white light is called dispersion. The collection of these colors is called a spectrum. A good example of a color spectrum is the rainbow. Rainbows occur when sunlight is refracted by water droplets during the rainy season. We can see a rainbow when it rains or after…

Introduction The electromagnetic spectrum refers to a range of all frequencies f electromagnetic radiation that includes invisible radiation as well s visible lights like the radio waves, gamma rays and infrared waves. The electromagnetic radiation from spectrum has multiple uses in the manufacturing and communication field. Gamma rays generally refer to the high frequency electromagnetic…

Introduction In accordance with a general conceptualisation, spectral series are referred to as a set of parallel lines that represent uniform speed and distance. In such cases, it has been observed that the wavelength of light can create a significant impact on the wavelength of these spectral lines. Based on this basic conviction, the present…

Introduction Radio waves that have the longest wavelength can be found in the electromagnetic spectrum. The waves have a frequency between 300 GHz (high) to 3 kHz (low) and sometimes are defined as microwaves that are above 3 GHz. Radio waves have a wavelength of 1 mm at a frequency of 300 GHz and 100…
