  2. Electromagnetic radiation and health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation...

    The heating effect varies with the power and the frequency of the electromagnetic energy, as well as the inverse square of distance to the source. The eyes and testes are particularly susceptible to radio frequency heating due to the paucity of blood flow in these areas that could otherwise dissipate the heat buildup. [7]

  3. Solar radio emission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radio_emission

    A propagation effect is anything that impacts the path or state of an electromagnetic wave after it is produced. These effects therefore depend on whatever mediums the wave passed through before being observed. The most dramatic impacts to solar radio emission occur in the corona and in Earth's ionosphere. There are three primary effects ...

  4. Solar flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flare

    The subsequent increase in the induced geomagnetic field variation is referred to as a solar flare effect (sfe) or historically as a magnetic crochet. The latter term derives from the French word crochet meaning hook reflecting the hook-like disturbances in magnetic field strength observed by ground-based magnetometers .

  5. Electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_field

    An electromagnetic field (also EM field) is a physical field, mathematical functions of position and time, representing the influences on and due to electric charges. [1] The field at any point in space and time can be regarded as a combination of an electric field and a magnetic field .

  6. Sunlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunlight

    The ultraviolet radiation in sunlight has both positive and negative health effects, as it is both a requisite for vitamin D 3 synthesis and a mutagen. Sunlight takes about 8.3 minutes to reach Earth from the surface of the Sun. [ 3 ] A photon starting at the center of the Sun and changing direction every time it encounters a charged particle ...

  7. Solar phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_phenomena

    The intense fibril state of the magnetic fields at the visible surface of a star like the Sun (e.g., by Hinode) The presence of magnetic fields of 0.5×10 5 to 1×10 5 gauss at the base of the conductive zone, presumably in some fibril form, inferred from the dynamics of rising azimuthal flux bundles.

  8. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

    In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is the set of waves of an electromagnetic (EM) field, which propagate through space and carry momentum and electromagnetic radiant energy. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Classically , electromagnetic radiation consists of electromagnetic waves , which are synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields .

  9. Stellar magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_magnetic_field

    The lower spectrum demonstrates the Zeeman effect after a magnetic field is applied to the source at top. A star's magnetic field can be measured using the Zeeman effect. Normally the atoms in a star's atmosphere will absorb certain frequencies of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, producing characteristic dark absorption lines in the ...
