Elcertomagnetic Spectrum

Last week, our science class worked on the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is the complete range of electromagnetic waves placed in order of increasing frequency. The spectrum is made up of radio waves, infrared rays, visible light ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays classified in the correct order. We have studied all of the types of rays in our lab tables. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies. Infrared rays, which I studied deeper into, have wavelengths shorter than radio waves. Visible light, which we also did a whole lab of, are the only electromagnetic waves you can see with the naked eye. Ultraviolet rays, have wavelengths just shorter that visible light. X- rays, often used from medical vision of human bones, has wavelengths just shorter than Ultraviolet waves. Finally, Gamma rays are the ones that have the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies. All the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are used for many common purposes. To sum up, the electromagnetic spectrum has many aspects included in it, but can be a very interesting topic to study.
