The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum so that the boundaries between its parts are arbitrary.
From waves with the largest wavelengths (lowest frequencies and energies), they are:
- sub-radio frequency
- radio waves
- micro-waves
- terahertz radiation
- infra red
- visible light
- ultra violet
- x-rays
- gamma rays
The arbitrariness is seen in the boundary between visible and ultraviolet, for example. Many insects can see near ultraviolet.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of light does the electromagnetic spectrum NOT contain?
The electromagnetic spectrum does not contain sound waves. It includes a range of electromagnetic waves, from radio waves to gamma rays, but does not include mechanical waves like sound.
What is energy called by electromagnetic waves?
Energy carried by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic energy. These waves contain a mix of both electrical and magnetic fields, moving at the speed of light. Different types of electromagnetic waves include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.
What kind of energy are in light waves?
Light waves contain electromagnetic energy. This energy is in the form of photons, which are packets of electromagnetic radiation that carry energy and momentum.
What are the common name of electromagnetic waves?
The common name for electromagnetic waves is just that: "electromagnetic waves". There is no other commonly used term. Specific parts of the spectrum have common names, for example light (or visible light), radio waves, x-rays, etc. - but none of this means exactly the same as "electromagnetic waves". Visible light, for instance, is just one type (or frequency range) of electromagnetic waves.
What type of energy is carried by electromagnetic waves?
Electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.

Who invented em waves?
Electromagnetic waves were predicted, by calculations, by James Clerk Maxwell. Later, different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum were either discovered or confirmed to be electromagnetic waves by various scientists.

Light waves contain electromagnetic energy. This energy is in the form of photons, which are packets of electromagnetic radiation that carry energy and momentum.
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
How are electromagnetic waves transfered?
Electromagnetic waves are transferred by electromagnetic radiation.
