Radio: Radio waves given out by radio stations. They are also given out stars and gases in space.
Microwave: Microwave radiation will cook scrambled eggs, but is also used by astronomers to learn about the structure of nearby Galaxies
Infrared: Night vision goggles pick up the infrared light given out by our skin and objects with heat. In space, infrared light helps us map the dust between stars.
Visible: Our eyes detect visible light. Fireflies, light bulbs, and stars all give out visible light.
Ultraviolet: Ultraviolet radiation is given out by the Sun and is the reason we get skin tans and burns. "Hot" objects in space give out UV radiation as well.
X-ray: A Radiologist uses X-rays to get an image of your bones. Hot gases in the Universe also emit X-rays.
Gamma ray: Doctors use gamma-ray imaging to see inside your body. The biggest gamma-ray generator of all is the Universe.
Electromagnetic waves were founded in the mid-nineteenth century, by a Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879). Electromagnetic waves, according to Maxwell's studies, are generated whenever an electrical charge (e.g., an electron) changes its direction, its speed, or both.
The electromagnetic spectrum (EM Spectrum) is the range of all types of EM radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes. The different types of EM radiation that make up the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, infrared light , ultraviolet light, radar, visible light, radio, x-rays and gamma-rays.
