Here's a breakdown of the electromagnetic spectrum from lowest to highest frequency:
* Radio waves: Used for communication, broadcasting, and radar.
* Microwaves: Used for cooking, communication, and radar.
* Infrared radiation: Emitted by warm objects, used for thermal imaging and remote sensing.
* Visible light: The range of frequencies our eyes can see.
* Ultraviolet radiation: Can cause sunburns, used in sterilization and medical imaging.
* X-rays: Used in medical imaging, security screening, and material analysis.
* Gamma rays: Emitted from radioactive decay, used in medical treatment and industrial applications.
