Electromagnetic waves are generated when an alternating current flows through a conductor, creating an oscillating magnetic field. The changing magnetic field induces an electric field which propagates away from the conductor as an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays, which differ only in wavelength.
