Jobs that involve using the electromagnetic spectrum include telecommunications engineers, radio astronomers, radiologists, and remote sensing specialists. These professionals work with various parts of the EM spectrum to communicate, study celestial objects, conduct medical imaging, and gather information about the environment, respectively.
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.
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.
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.
Two properties of electromagnetic waves that change across the spectrum are wavelength and frequency. As you move from one end of the spectrum to the other, the wavelength decreases and the frequency increases.
The categories of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, in the ascending order of their frequencies are:RadioMicrowaveInfraredVisibleUltravioletX-rayGammaHence, Radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelengths while Gamma rays have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelengths.(check related link for an image)
Most of the EM spectrum is visible light.
Cosmic rays are not part of the EM spectrum -- they are high energy charged particles.
That part is called "visible light", or just "light".

That's a fascinating and unique question! My first reaction is that the part of the EM spectrum you'd choose depends on the detection mechanism you plan to use. For example, if you'll observe the measurement visually, then you would use visible light, whereas if you planned to use radio detection apparatus, then you would use microwave radio waves in a RADAR configuration.
Radio waves are the longest lengthwise.
Gamma rays
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.
