Electromagnetic waves

Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through the vacuum of space and consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays.

Radio waves.

Microwaves.

Ultraviolet rays help the body produce vitamin D.

Gamma rays.

The higher the frequency, the higher the energy.

Radio waves have long wavelengths and low frequencies, making them suitable for communication.

Infrared rays are used in remote controls and thermal imaging.

Visible light is the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen by the human eye.
