Rorkster2 said:When Gamma Rays collide it is possible to form various units of matter (ie proton, electron, etc). Does anything happen when photons collide that are of other frequencies other then a ricochet? If X-Rays collide with other x-rays does anything happen? Also, if anything does happen, what would the result of something along the lines of a gamma ray collision with visible light?
Rorkster2 said:If energy in a collision is over 511kev, does that mean it would be possible for many lower frequency photons (i.e visible light or radio waves) to collide at a single point and have the combined enrgy over 511kev and result in particles?
Electromagnetic radiation is a type of energy that travels through space in the form of waves. It includes a wide range of frequencies, from radio waves to gamma rays.
The frequencies of electromagnetic radiation range from very low frequencies, such as radio waves, to very high frequencies, such as gamma rays. The full spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Collisions between electromagnetic radiation of varying frequencies can occur when two waves overlap or when they interact with matter. This can cause the waves to change direction, speed, or energy.
Collisions between electromagnetic radiation of varying frequencies play a crucial role in many natural and man-made processes. For example, they are involved in the formation of chemical bonds, the absorption and emission of light by atoms and molecules, and the production of images in medical imaging techniques such as X-rays.
Scientists use a variety of techniques to study collisions between electromagnetic radiation of varying frequencies, including spectroscopy and scattering experiments. These techniques allow them to measure the energies and frequencies of the radiation involved and understand how it interacts with matter.
