What is eletromagnetic spectrum?

Answer 1

The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays.

Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency.

(frequency = wave oscillations per second)

Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories:

Radiowave

Microwave

Infrared

Visible (light)

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma Rays

[This list is in increasing order of frequency)

Answer 2

The electromagnetic spectrum is the name for the range of electromagnetic waves when they are placed in order of increasing frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Answer 3

The EM spectrum is the range of frequencies of EM radiation.

From low to high frequencies the spectrum goes: Radio, Microwave, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet, X-ray, and Gamma ray.

Frequency is inversely related to wavelength by c = frequency * wavelength where c is the speed of light. So the same spectrum goes from long wavelength to short wavelength

Answer 4

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.

The electromagnetic spectrum extends from below frequencies used for modern radio to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom. The long wavelength limit is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length, although in principle the spectrum is infinite and continuous

Answer 5

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, from low-frequency radio waves to high-frequency gamma rays. It encompasses different types of radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of radiation has specific properties and uses in fields like communication, imaging, and research.

Answer 6

An electromagnetic spectrum shows the range of all the frequencies/wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, ( form of energy that exhibits particulate-wave properties).

Answer 7

The orderly classification of electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength or frequency.
