The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the entire range of frequencies that electromagnetic radiation can have. The EM spectrum is divided into sections based on the common characteristics that certain frequency ranges have. These sections are, in order from low to high frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light (which from low to high frequency is further divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. You can think of the EM spectrum as an invisible rainbow with visible light being a small part of it. And, like a rainbow, the edges of the divided sections are blurry; i.e. there is no exact frequency where one can say, for example, that this wave is no longer an X-ray, but is instead a gamma ray.
it is waves of light in order of their wavelengths and frequencies

What else can I help you with?
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
Where is the visible light in the EM spectrum?
between 400 nm and 700 nm
EM wavelengths range from less than a nanometer to over a kilometer?
Gamma rays down to Radio waves, basically the entire EM spectrum.
Where is the cosmic rays radiation located on the electromagnetic spectrum in relation to other kinds of radiation?
Cosmic rays are not part of the EM spectrum -- they are high energy charged particles.
EM waves your body senses as heat?
these waves are known as Infrared Waves. On the EM spectrum the are between visible light and microwaves. It means "below red".
Which of these statements about the EM spectrum is false?
Most of the EM spectrum is visible light.
What to properties of EM waves change from one end of the EM spectrum to the other?
Wavelength and frequency :)
What are the primary em spectrum colors?
The primary EM spectrum colors are red, green, and blue. These colors can be combined in different ways to create all the other colors we see in the visible spectrum.
Where is wave located on the em spectrum?
Waves are a broad category on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. They differ from each other in terms of their wavelength and frequency.
What is the basis of arrangement of EM waves in the spectrum?
Electromagnetic (EM) waves are arranged in the spectrum based on their wavelength or frequency. From longest to shortest wavelength/frequency, the EM spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. This arrangement is important because each region of the spectrum has unique properties and interactions with matter.
What are the waves in the EM spectrum?
Radio waves are the longest lengthwise.
What member of the em spectrum has the highest frequecy?
Gamma rays
Is visible light a major part of the EM spectrum?
It is certainly a very important part, but it is not a major part; 'visible light' makes up only a tiny part of the EM spectrum.
What type of em wave comes from incandescent light bulbs?
Visible and infra red parts of the EM spectrum
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
Differences between the groups in the EM spectrum?
Only their wavelengths are different.
How are radio waves different from other waves on the EM spectrum?
They have different wavelength.
