You actually know more about it than you may think! The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is just a name that scientists give a bunch of types of radiation when they want to talk about them as a group. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes-- visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. Other examples of EM radiation are microwaves, infrared and ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays. Hotter, more energetic objects and events create higher energy radiation than cool objects. Only extremely hot objects or particles moving at very high velocities can create high-energy radiation like X-rays and gamma-rays.

Can electromagnetic spectrum waves travel through air?
Yes. Electromagnetic spectrum waves reach your eye through the air.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the most energy?
The waves with higher frequencies have more energy and the gamma rays have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum
What does a elctromagnetic spectrum do?
Type your answer here...The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.The electromagnetic spectrum extends 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. The long wavelength limit is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous.
What is the range of light called?
The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
Is orange light a type of electromagnetic radiation?
yes, it's between red and yellow waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the arrangement of electromagnetic waves according to their wavelengths and frequencies called?
That's called the electromagnetic spectrum.
What does a electromagnetic spectrum contain of?
what does an electromagnetic spectrum consist of
What energy does the electromagnetic spectrum make?
the energy that makes the electromagnetic spectrum is electromagnetic radiation
What does the electromagnetic spectrum have?
Electromagnetic spectrum have different electromagnetic waves classified orderly according to their wavelength or frequency.
What region of the electromagnetic spectrum is 1100nm?
It lies in infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum.
is the the visible spectrum occupies most of the electromagnetic and sonar spectrum?
The visible spectrum is a tiny, almost negligible slice of the electromagnetic spectrum. 'Sonar' has no place in this discussion. It's not even electromagnetic.
The electromagnetic spectrum includes what?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes electromagnetic waves with a continuous flow of the wavelength.
What is the full range of electromagnetic radiation called?
There are seven types of electromagnetic waves and they are: 1. Radio waves 2. Microwaves 3. Infra-red waves 4. (visible) Light waves 5. Ultra-violet waves 6. X-ray waves 7. Gamma rays
What electromagnetic spectrum are safe for humans?
in electromagnetic spectrum visible light is safe for humans
What is electrmagnetic spectrum?
Electromagnetic spectrum is a diagram that show the range, or spectrum of electromagnetic waves, in order of wavelength, frequency and energy.
What is between visible light and the electromagnetic spectrum?
Visible light is a small section in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Is water part of the eletromagnetic spectrum?
No, The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.
