About
It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. The spectrum is based on the properties of electromagnetic waves, which include electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other, creating a wave-like pattern. Each type of radiation in the spectrum has unique properties and uses in various fields such as communication, medicine, and astronomy. The spectrum is divided into different regions based on their frequencies and energies, with each region having its own characteristics and interactions with matter. Understanding and utilizing the electromagnetic spectrum has contributed to significant advances in technology and scientific research.
