the range of all electromagnetic frequencies, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays and gamma rays
electromagnetic spectrum
15
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves detectable by the human eye
visible light
15
A fancy word for light. It does not require a medium to travel
electromagnetic waves
15
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves with the lowest frequencies
radio waves
15
part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves with higher frequencies than radio waves, but lower than infrared waves
microwaves
15
part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves with frequencies higher than those of visible light and lower than those of x-rays
ultraviolet
15
part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves with frequencies between those of microwaves and visible light
infrared
15
part of the electromagnetic spectrum that consists of waves with the highest frequencies
gamma rays
15
Has a smaller wavelength than X-Rays
gamma rays
15
Has a greater wavelength than Gamma Rays, but a smaller wavelength than ultraviolet.
x-rays
15
Has a greater wavelength than X-Rays but a smaller wavelength than visible light
ultraviolet
15
Has a greater wavelength than ultraviolet but a smaller wavelength than infrared
visible light
15
Has a greater wavelength than visible light but a smaller wavelength than microwaves
infrared
15
comes between radio waves and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum
microwaves
15
Has a greater wavelength than microwaves
radio waves
15
total distance a wave moves from its resting position also known as the height of a wave
