They don't. A 'light year' isn't anything as romantic as an electromagnetic wave or a gamma ray.
A 'light year' is nothing but a lowly unit of length or distance, just like an inch, a mile, or a kilometer.
A 'light year' is the distance light travels in a year. That's roughly 5,878,700,000,000 miles.
(You can see why it's easier to use 'lights years' than miles to talk about long distances.)

Where on the spectrum of electromagnetic waves does alpha radiation fit in?
Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.
Why Nature of spectral reflectance curves?
Spectral reflectance measure a thin film's characteristics by reflecting light off the film and analyzing the resulting reflectance spectrum over a range of wavelengths. Light reflected from different interfaces of the film can be in- or out-of-phase so these reflections add or subtract, depending upon the wavelength of the light and the film's thickness and index. The result is intensity oscillations in the reflectance spectrum that are characteristic of the film.To determine the film's thickness, the software calculates a theoretical reflectance spectrum that matches as closely as possible to the measured spectrum. It begins with an initial guess for what the reflectance spectrum should look like, based on the nominal film stack. This includes information on the thickness and the refractive index of the different layers and the substrate that make up the sample. The theoretical reflectance spectrum is then adjusted by adjusting the film's properties until a best fit to the measured spectrum is found.This metrology can be used on thin film thickness measurement, even for transparent films.
How are electromagnetic waves arranged in the electromagnetic waves?
They fit perfectly, with no extra, unused space, and nothing left hanging out.
Where does visible light fit into the spectrum?
Visible light has a wavelength of between 400nm (nanometres) for violet and 700 nm for red. Infrared hes a longer wavelength while microwaves and radio waves have longer again. Shorter wavelengths than visible light go from ultraviolet to x-rays then gamma rays.
How many yellow light waves will fit into a distance of .003 inches?
Approx 129.
Where on the spectrum of electromagnetic waves does alpha radiation fit in?
Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.
Are sound waves part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are different. Sound is composed of density waves in the air or some other form of matter. Sound is a mechanical compression-rarefaction wave. The different types of electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.
What does a ACDelco PF1127 fit?
A Geo Spectrum!
What has the longest wavelength-light waves x-rays or radio waves?
Radio Waves are in the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum and have wavelengths between several hundred feet (AM Radio) to fractions of an inch (Microwave communications). X-Rays are high energy photons at the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum, with wavelengths shorter than visible light, measured in nanometers to picometers. Color wise, Red is the longest visible, while Violet is the shortest wavelength of visible light. There are many graphical charts of the electromagnetic spectrum that show where the various waves fit in relation to each other, these can be found on an internet image search.

How is the emission spectrum related to the absorption spectrum?
They are related by they are both spectrums that give the color(s) that the element is. The Emission Spectrum shows what color(s) it gives off, and the Absortion shows what color it absorbs and doesn't show. They also fit together and make a continuous spectrum.

How do you measure the temperature of the sun?
The surface of the sun radiates energy in nearly the same manner as a black body. That is to say, the fraction of light that is emitted at each wavelength is a function of the temperature alone. As a result, we can measure the spectrum of the Sun, and then fit it with a blackbody spectrum to derive the temperature.
Where does visible light fit into the spectrum?
Visible light has a wavelength of between 400nm (nanometres) for violet and 700 nm for red. Infrared hes a longer wavelength while microwaves and radio waves have longer again. Shorter wavelengths than visible light go from ultraviolet to x-rays then gamma rays.
Where does radio wave fit into the electromagnetic spectrum?
Here are the ways you use the radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrumjust while you're in your car :-- listen to the traffic and weather reports-- listen to music and news-- use your GPS to find an address-- get a call on your cellphone-- talk on your CB-- open the garage door without getting out of the car in the rain
What size light bulbs will fit into the Swag Pendant Light?
You standard size light bulbs will fit into them, just make sure they are the right style.
Who manufactures flashing electromagnetic bicycle rear lights?
Look for a product called Reelight, which should fit your description.
