1. Radio Waves: Longest wavelengths, from kilometers down to about a millimeter.
2. Microwaves: From about a millimeter to about 1 meter.
3. Infrared Radiation: From about 1 micrometer to about 700 nanometers.
4. Visible Light: The narrow range of wavelengths that our eyes can see, from about 700 nanometers (red) down to about 400 nanometers (violet).
5. Ultraviolet Radiation: From about 400 nanometers down to about 10 nanometers.
6. X-rays: From about 10 nanometers down to about 0.01 nanometers.
7. Gamma Rays: Shortest wavelengths, less than 0.01 nanometers.
Important Notes:
* Wavelength and Frequency: Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. This means that longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies, and shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies.
* Energy: Higher frequencies (shorter wavelengths) carry more energy. For example, gamma rays have much higher energy than radio waves.
