Where do electromagnetic waves come from?

A spectrum is a representation of the range of frequencies/wavelengths present in electromagnetic radiation. It may be plotted as the power or intensity on the vertical axis, and the wavelength or frequency on the horizontal axis. When talking about the electromagnetic spectrum it is sometimes presented as a chart or table showing the range of frequencies/wavelengths that are covered by electromagnetic radiation. Thus it represents radiation from radio frequencies through infra red, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays and gamma radiation. Where does it come from? The first link below shows the history of "spectrum" which was originally used to refer to the colours of light when split up by a rainbow or prism. It was later used by analogy to refer to "a range of objects". I guess that someone just wanted to make a chart showing how the various radiation types are related.


How can you use the em spectrum to explore the universe?

The HST uses EM waves to find things through echolocation or firing a beam of EM waves (or sound) at objects and seeing what a planet or star has done to change the light. Ultrasound works this way.


What is the relationship between the energy and wavelength of electromagnetic radiation?

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. The higher the frequency, the shorter (lower) the wavelength. Energy is proportional to frequency, and higher frequency waves will have a higher energy. Mathematically, frequency = 1 divided by wavelength, or f = 1/λ Use the link below for more information, including a diagram or two to make things clearer.


Does a microwave have chemical energy?

If you are referring to the oven, the answer could be yes, as the turn table moves. However if you are referring to the electromagnetic wave known as a microwave then this is a form of electromagnetic energy...

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.
