@bbc: What colour is radiation? ☢️ QI: Sandi Toksvig, Alan Davies and a host of comedy stars swap funny facts on every subject under the sun. It doesn't matter if they're right, as long as they're quite interesting. #QI #AlanDavies #SandiToksvig #QIMemes #FunFacts #Funny #iPlayer
All, the answer is that all colour is radiation. Light is electromagnetic radiation.

isnt all visible light a form of electromagnetic radiation?

i thought they were talking about the vibe it gives off

For yall who haven’t done physics, radiation is completely invisible, the emitted particles/waves are too small to be seen, and nuclear waste does not emit anything visible on its own. (Doesn’t glow)

Hey Paul! :
Alan finally had it with some of the questions on the show, after 20 years.

it actually isn't blue, that's just it blue shifting (i think that's the term) as it breaks the speed of light as in water, light travels slower than over radiations, so it still has no colour

Depends on the wavelength 🙄

radiation is all colors, at the same time none, as light only gets it's color once perceived by a brain. except alpha and beta radiation, idk what color helium and electrons have.

The Simpsons says it’s Green and that’s what I’m sticking with 😅

My guess is either “no color” if not a photon, or “any color” if it is.

The question was what color is radiation not the thing that produced the radiation. It’s like asking what color is radio waves

technically all colours are radiation

Technically radiation is all colours because light is a form of radiation. Just cause cherenkov radiation looks blue doesn't mean it is blue either, just that it excited the blue cone in the eye.

"what colour is light?" - "green" - "wrong. there's this thing called blue light, and blue light is blue, so the answer to the question, what color is light, is blue. I'm very smart."

Depends on the type of radiation (i.e. heat radiates) and the frequency (if it's electromagnetic radiation).

If the radiation is green..Alan is the incredible HULK.It IS my first thought.

Is something still a color even if it exists outside the visible spectrum?

I was thinking it was ultraviolet, aka UV. 😫

All colours are radiation but if you mean ☢️then some super ultra mega violet I guess

Color is not just a radiation but a radiation at a specific frequency

at school 50 years ago, my mate when asked for 2 properties of alpha radiation answered odourless and colouless
