The study of electromagnetism is widely known in paranormal research, we regularly study and survey electromagnetic fluctuations to identify them as an indicator of paranormally sourced energy impacts on our environment. The electromagnetic spectrum is a prime focus of this research due to its tremendous size and intricacy.
What is electromagnetism?
Correct Answer
B. It is the force that causes the interaction between electrically charged particles.
Explanation
Why is this relevant? Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental interactions of nature. In paranormal research, we measure these interactions to discover unusual disturbances in the Electromagnetic field. Knowing what you're measuring makes for better science.
2.
Because we live in a three-dimensional world, electro-magnetic fields travel along three directional axes. X, Y, and Z.

8.
Question: Electromagnetic fields are typically measured in Gauss milligauss or Tesla. What do these measurements actually represent?
Correct Answer
D. The density of the electromagnetic field.
Explanation
When measuring EM radiation, we measure field density.
9.

Question: In the early 1980's Dr. Michael Persinger, a neuro-scientist from the Laurentian college in Sudbury Canada, discovered that:
Correct Answer
B. Electromagnetism induced neural siezures can produce paranormal-like experiences.
Explanation
His tests produced siezures which in turn created dark and at times opiate like experiences.
11.
Question: Light is an electromagnetic field. True or False?
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Light is a very small part of the Electromagnetic spectrum.
12.
Question: Sound is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. True or False
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
Sound deals with the movement of matter not waves.
13.
Question: While undergoing experiments with Dr. Michael Persinger's "God Helmet", volunteers are said to experience:
Correct Answer
E. All of the above
Explanation
Although any are true, there is only one answer.
14.
According to research studies conducted at the Laurentian College in Sudbury Canada, nearly 80% of the population has an acute sensitivity to electromagnetic energy. This sensitivity can, at times, be responsible for perceived paranormal encounters.Question: What are some of the symptoms of electromagnetic hypersenitivity? (check all that apply)
Correct Answer(s)

Question: The KII Meter was developed for which of the following purposes:
Correct Answer
C. To measure for safe ranges of electromagnetic fields.
Explanation
The KII website still markets this device as a safe range meter.
16.
Most electromagnetic field meters utilize the principle of electromagnetic induction to survey radiation levels. Question: What is electromagnetic induction?
Correct Answer
D. A current in a loop of conducting wire that is caused by a changing magnetic field in the circle formed by the loop.
Explanation
This is also the same principle is used to charge rechargeable toothbrushes.
17.
Question: Infrared light is a higher frequency than visible light. True or False?
Correct Answer
B. False

Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Some people with VERY good eyes can see both!
19.
Question: The infrared heat that thermal imaging cameras and non-contact thermometers read is actually:
Correct Answer
C. Both emitted and reflected energy
Explanation
Yes Emitted could be right and so could Refelected... but there is only one correct answer.
20.
Question: The color and sheen of an objects surface can actually affect the accuracy of a thermal imaging camera. True or False?
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
A white shiny bottle with be less accurate than a black piece of pipe.
21.
Question: Electromagnetic radiation can actually travel in the same complex wave patterns as audio. True or False?
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The only difference between the waves is that one is audio and can be heard. Other than that, no difference.
22.
Radio waves are often responsible for false positive readings on a variety of environmental survey equipment. Knowing the design frequency range of your equipment and the active frequency range of radio transmissions can help to better understand or debunk unusual readings. Question: Which electromagnetic frequency range is used for radio transmissions?
Correct Answer
C. 30 kHz to 300 GHz
