The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into 7 main types of energy. List all 7 in order from lowest energy to highest energy. (pages 10-12)

1 answer

The electromagnetic spectrum can be organized into seven main types of energy, listed here from lowest energy to highest energy:

  1. Radio Waves
  2. Microwaves
  3. Infrared Radiation
  4. Visible Light
  5. Ultraviolet Radiation
  6. X-rays
  7. Gamma Rays

This ordering reflects the increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength of electromagnetic radiation as you move from radio waves to gamma rays.
