What energy does the electromagnetic spectrum make?

The electromagnetic spectrum consists of a range of energies, from low-energy radio waves to high-energy gamma rays. This spectrum includes various types of energy, such as visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and microwaves, each having specific properties and interactions with matter.


What do all of the different forms of electromagnetic radiation together make up?

All forms of electromagnetic radiation make up the electromagnetic spectrum. This includes visible light, radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of radiation has a different wavelength and energy level.


What is visible light and what portion can humans detect?

Visible light waves are the electromagnetic waves which are detected by the human eye. They make up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. So, visible light is any light in which the human eye can detect.


All of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation make up the electromagnetic?

spectrum. This spectrum encompasses a wide range of frequencies and wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays. Each type of radiation has unique properties and uses in various fields such as communication, medicine, and astronomy.


What waves make up the electromagnetic spectrum describe each?

Why electromagnetic waves of course. These are waves that require no material medium for their propagation, but instead propagate by the cyclic exchange of energy between their electrical and magnetic fields (which for a given wave are always polarized perpendicular to each other, as shown in the image above).The spectrum of electromagnetic waves is continuous with no gaps and spans a potential range of wavelengths from as small as roughly the diameter of protons and neutrons to almost as large as the known universe. Different bands within this spectrum interact with matter in different ways, have been given different names by humans, and some of these bands are used by humans for a variety of different purposes (e.g. communication, RADAR, cooking, heating, vision, medical).

All waves make up the electromagnetic?

No, not all waves make up the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of a continuous range of electromagnetic waves that vary in wavelength and frequency, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Other types of waves, such as water waves or sound waves, are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What (types) waves make up the electromagnetic spectrum?

What are the two types of waves that make up electromagnetic waves?

The two types of waves that make up electromagnetic waves are electric waves and magnetic waves. These waves are perpendicular to each other and propagate together in space, creating the electromagnetic spectrum that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


What waves have the color spectrum known as ROYGBIV?

ROYGBIV refers to the colors of visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum. The waves that make up this color spectrum range from longer red waves to shorter violet waves. In order from longest to shortest wavelength: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

What is the colour of gravitational radiation?

"Color" is a property for part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It doesn't make sense for other types of radiation, including gravitational waves.
