The distinguishing features between one type of electromagnetic radiation and the other are the frequency and the wavelength (the product of both is the speed of the wave - the speed of light).

What things are electromagnetic radiation emitting from?

Electromagnetic radiation is emitted from many different things. Some of the things that emit electromagnetic radiation are microwaves, x-rays and radios.


What determines the difference between types of electromagnetic radiation?

The difference between types of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, visible light, or X-rays, is determined by their frequency and wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency and shorter wavelength has more energy and is more harmful to biological tissues. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all these types of radiation.
