Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Interesting question: can you see a frequency coming from a magnetic wave. First it's important to understand that a magnetic wave is only one part of the " Electromagnet Radiation " . If you have a magnetic field you always have a corresponding electrical field and photon wave (radiation wave). All of three of these waves also function as " wave–particle duality " , which means they work as both waves in motion and particles in motion. A moving magnetic field will produce a moving electric field and move electrons in a conducting material. If you mean " see " with your eyes, you can see it only if the frequency falls into the visual spectrum governed by the types of photon receptors in your brain. People normally see photons in a very narrow frequency range just below 10,000,000,000,000,000 Hz. So, if the electromagnetic radiation field (or magnetic wave portion) frequency is within the visual spectrum, then you can see it. A light bulb resists the flow of energy and releases photons that you can see. When you say " see " you might mean " measure " which you can do with a magnetometer, which is used to measure the strength or direction of magnetic fields. AlphaLabs makes a trifield meter that can be used to measure the strength of Radio waves (below visible light photon waves like microwave and radiowave frequencies), Electrical fields and Magnetic Fields. You can also get a variety of Electromagnetic frequency meters which display the field frequency such as the Extech 480823 Electromagnetic Field and Extremely Low Frequency Meter. Prices vary widely based on quality, the number of axis of detection and range of frequency detection. You could also use a volt meter to detect the frequency of an AC current which will have a corresponding magnetic field frequency. Another thing to keep in mind is that the frequency of a magnetic field will be equal to the frequency of AC or alternating electric current and the released photons will also have the same frequency. When using pulsed DC or pulsed direct electric current, the magnetic field and released photons will have the same frequency as the pulsed frequency. Well, that's what I think anyway, I may have misunderstood what I've been studying too. --Bob > > Hi all, > Rife noob. > I'm trying to find out if there is a way that you can easily? see a > frequency coming from a magnetic wave? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
