Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic wave spectrum is a chart showing the order of wave frequencies from smallest to biggest. The electromagnetic spectrum goes from low frequencies used for modern radio to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom.

Examples of Electromagnetic Spectrum Radio waves- T.V. Microwaves- Radar or GPS Infra Red- Military use it to detect body heat Visible light- Light from a lamp UV Rays- The suns rays X-rays- An x-ray machine Gamma Rays- Power plant
