  • Is a Magnetic Field apart of the Electromagnetic Spectrum?

    When you think about it a magnet's magnetic field can penetrate just about anything. Two magnets can hold themselves up against metal, lead, plastic, and so on. If we were to put the magnetic field in the electromagnetic spectrum it would up higher than gamma rays and cosmic rays because it can penetrate so much more than they could. What is interesting is that the magnetic field has a high wave length but unlike the gamma and cosmic rays the magnetic rays have no harmful effect onto a human that I know of. I just thought it was a interesting concept to think of a magnetic field being measured against other electromagnetic radiation. The whole magnetic spectrum is so interesting, like how radio waves can penetrate a wall but light can't. Or how comic rays make carbon-14. Just like how theirs small waves like gamma rays, their gonna be high waves that far exceed the size of a football field or even rays that are bigger than our universe. Fascinating stuff
    All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer

    I think you have that backward because low frequency waves actually penetrate better than high frequency. AM band signals can travel further than FM band signals: both penetrate walls even though "light" can't. Both the top end, and the bottom end of the spectrum have high penetrating power.

    A permanent magnet would have a frequency of "zero" (not exactly zero, but close to zero).

      I would have to say that the magnetic field is a part of the Electromagnetic spectrum. All things are tied together. One scientist even conducted an experiment to show everyone how the magnetic field and gravity are tied together. He took two rather large neodymium magnet plates and cored them out. He then put a bolt through them and forced the two opposing sides together by tightening the nut down. He weighed it and took another object of commensurate weight and dropped them from a 5 story rooftop. The neodymium magnets hit the ground last in ten out of ten drop tests. The test was conducted, verified and witnessed by many people. The hard part for us all is figuring out how they are connected, what are the implications, and how to put this knowledge to good use.
