There's only one electromagnetic spectrum. A few of the different ranges of

wavelengths in it are . . .

-- Extreme Low Frquency . . . used for navigation, and for submarine communication

-- Radio . . . used for broadcasting information, education, and entertainment,

and for two-way communication like on cell-phones and police walkie-talkies

-- Infrared . . . carries heat from the sun to warm the Earth, from a fireplace

to warm your face, and from the toaster coils to burn your bread

-- Visible light . . . we use this part of the spectrum to see things with our eyes,

and to take pictures with our cameras

-- Ultraviolet . . . used to kill germs and sterilize things; tans our skin;

too much of it shining on you is dangerous

-- X-rays . . . used to make photos of your bones and the insides of your teeth;

too much of it shining on you is dangerous

-- Gamma rays . . . by receiving these, scientists can discover things about what goes on

in outer space;

we have no way to generate them; they're dangerous to living things;

the air on Earth protects us from gamma rays coming from space
