 1. Radio
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic waves. They range

waves
from around a foot long to several miles long. It has a very wide range of wavelengths
and are divided into smaller regions of wavebands and are allocated by specific law of
service according to the frequency as. Each application can be noted and observed from
using AM radio broadcasting, FM radio broadcasting, TV broadcasting and satellite
communication. Low frequency waves are suitable for communication over great
distances. It can be affected by curvature of the earth thus, repeater is used to extend the
range. High frequency waves can be reflected by ionosphere thus
enables the waves to be transmitted over great distances.
The table shows how bands,frequency and wavelength
are arrange with specific application.

Table 1.Radio Waves Frequencies
 2.
Microwav
Microwaves are shorter than radio waves with wavelengths
measured in centimeters. It is useful in communication

es
because they can penetrate clouds, smoke, and light rain.
3. Infrared
Between microwaves and visible light are infrared waves. Infrared
waves are sometimes classified as "near" infrared and "far" infrared.
Near infrared waves are the waves that are closer to visible light in
wavelength. These are the infrared waves that are used in your TV
remote to change channels. Far infrared waves are further away from
visible light in wavelength. Far infrared waves are thermal and give
off heat. Anything that gives off heat radiates infrared waves.This
includes the human body!
 4. Visible
Light
Wavelengths range from 700nm (red light) to 30 nm (violet light) with
frequencies higher than infrared waves. These are waves in the EM
spectrum that humans can see. When light light passes through a
prism, it is separated into its constituent colors: the red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (ROY G BIV). Violet has the
highest frequency while red light has the lowest frequency.
5. Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet waves have the next shortest
wavelength after visible light. It is ultraviolet
rays from the Sun that cause sunburns.We are
protected from the Sun's ultraviolet rays by the
ozone layer.
 6.
X-rays have even shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet rays. At this

Xray
point in the electromagnetic spectrum, scientists begin to think of these
rays move as particles than waves.
X-rays were discovered by German scientist
Wilhelm Roentgen. They can penetrate soft tissue
like skin and muscle and are used to take X-ray
pictures of bones in medicine.
 7. Gamma
Rays
Gamma rays are the shortest waves in the spectrum and, as a result,
have the most energy. Gamma rays are sometimes used in treating
cancer and in taking detailed images for diagnostic medicine.
Gamma rays are produced
in high energy nuclear explosions and supernovas.
