Here's a quick breakdown of the electromagnetic spectrum from longest to shortest wavelength:
1. Radio waves: Longest wavelengths, used for communication, broadcasting, and radar.
2. Microwaves: Used in ovens, communication, and radar.
3. Infrared: Experienced as heat, used in thermal imaging and remote sensing.
4. Visible light: The range of colors our eyes can see.
5. Ultraviolet: Can cause sunburns, used in sterilization and some medical treatments.
6. X-rays: Penetrate soft tissues, used in medical imaging and security scanning.
7. Gamma rays: Most energetic, used in medical treatments and industrial applications.
