petrushka.googol Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 We are all too conversant with the attributes of lightning discharges - - ionisation field - EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) Is radiation (not infra-red / therrmal) also a concommitant of lightning discharges? What are the latest insights on the subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordred Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 lightning has electromagnetic radiation I think you may have to define what type of radiation specifically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 As you can see lightning and hear the radio interference they cause, they obviously generate a wide range of electromagnetic radiation. Even gamma rays. http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2013/jul/10/japanese-team-sees-gamma-ray-pulse-before-lightning-flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
