The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays.
Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency.
(frequency = wave oscillations per second)
Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories:
Radiowave
Microwave
Infrared
Visible (light)
Ultraviolet
X-rays
Gamma Rays
[This list is in increasing order of frequency)

∙ 15y agoThe electromagnetic spectrum is the name for the range of electromagnetic waves when they are placed in order of increasing frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays.

∙ 15y agoThe EM spectrum is the range of frequencies of EM radiation.
From low to high frequencies the spectrum goes: Radio, Microwave, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma ray.
Frequency is inversely related to wavelength by c = frequency * wavelength where c is the speed of light. So the same spectrum goes from long wavelength to short wavelength

∙ 11y agoThe electromagnetic spectrum 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.
The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below 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

Is a water wave a electromagnetic?
No, eletromagnetic waves propagate in two planes (eletro-magnetic) and can propagate in a vacuum. Water waves, on the other hand, are dependant on matter to transfer energy, making it a mechanical wave, not an eletromagnetic one.
What are the dangers of infared waves?
Infra red radiation is part of the Eletromagnetic Spectrum, it includes all types of radiation including: Radio waves, microwaves, Infra red radiation, visible light, ultraviolet, x- rays and gamma rays.Infra red radiation risks: it can damage your cornea.
