The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths and photon energies. The electromagnetic spectrum covers electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from below 1 hertz to above 10^25 hertz, corresponding to wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atomic nucleus. In physics, the electromagnetic spectrum is commonly divided into seven distinct frequency bands and types of EM radiation: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Different Types of Electromagnetic Radiation
The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuous distribution of electromagnetic radiation, but for convenience, it is divided into seven different regions, each with its own unique properties and applications. The division is based on the frequency and wavelength of the radiation.
