Detectors for Electromagnetic Radiation
Detectors for Electromagnetic Radiation: In physics, electromagnetic radiation (EM radiation or EMR) refers to the waves (or their quanta, photons) of the electromagnetic field, propagating (radiating) through space carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, (visible) light, ultraviolet, X-, and gamma radiation.Detectors are any instrument that detects electromagnetic radiation
