1 Electromagnetic Spectrum

2 -is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.

3 Types of Waves Radio Infrared Visible light UV X rays Gamma rays

4 Radio Waves -type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light How it is used : it is used in radio communication, broadcasting, radar, navigation systems, computer networks, and satellite communications

5 Infrared -electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength longer than that of visible light

6 Ultraviolet -electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X- rays

7 X rays They are shorter in wavelength than UV rays and longer than gamma rays.

8 Gamma Rays -is electromagnetic radiation of high frequency (very short wavelength).
