The term described to address the full range of radiation is electromagnetic spectrum. On the extreme right of this spectrum, we have radio waves. On the left side of this spectrum, we have gamma rays, highest in energy of all other electromagnetic radiations.

However, the full spectrum of electromagnetic radiation has wavelengths approaching zero length to wavelengths approaching the dimensions of the universe. This is a nearly infinite range!

The full range of wavelengths (and photon energies) is called the"electromagnetic spectrum."

What frequency ranges of the radiation curve do red green and blue light occupy?

Red, Blue and Green light occupy a very narrow, but unbroken, part of the full range of electromagnetic radiation curve


What is the full range of the wavelengths of EM waves?

The full range is called the "electromagnetic spectrum".No number can be given, because there's no such thing as the longestor shortest wavelength (lowest or highest frequency). The electromagneticspectrum has no ends.


What is eletromagnetic spectrum?

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)


Does Electromagnetic Radiation travel through a medium known as the Aether?

No. The lumineferous Æther was assumed to exist, for as long as people were sure that waves needed something to carry them. But the Michelson-Morley experiment demonstrated that it doesn't exist, and electromagnetic radiation travels through a region that's full of truly nothing.


How does the wavelength of the infared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum differ from that of the visible portion of the spectrum?

I have no clue Laugh out loud

Is the color spectrum simply a small segment of the electromagnetic spectrum?

Yes, visible light (the color spectrum) is a tiny range of the full range of electromagnetic waves. In the related Wikipedia link, there is a picture that shows the colors 'crammed in' to a small range of the spectrum.
