Electromagnetic Radiation (and books)
from The Information Entropy Podcast · host Dr. Tom Jenks and Mitchell Gatting
Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week we aimed to speak about the electromagnetic spectrum! But before that we had a deep and impromptu dive about books we are reading and weighed in on the debate of reading books vs listening to them as audiobooks… or both at the same time! When we finally get back on track, we explore what electromagnetic radiation actually is. Particles or waves that do not require a medium to travel? We typically perceive just a small fraction of the spectrum: visible light! But either side of that are radio waves for communication and x-rays!
