'S (EM) of the electromagnetic spectrum is just a name that scientists give a number of types of radiation when they want to talk about them as a group. Radiation is energythat travels and spreads as it goes - visible light from a lamp in your house and radio waves coming from a radio station there are two types of electromagnetic radiation. Other examples of EM radiation are microwaves, infrared and ultraviolet rays, X rays and gamma rays. Hotter, more energetic objects and events create higher energy radiation than cool objects. Only extremely hot objects or particles that may be at very high speeds produce high-energy radiation like X-rays andGamma rays. The various types of radiation in the EM spectrum, in order from lowest to highest energy: Radio: Yes, this is the same kind of energy that emit radio stations in the air for your boom box to capture and turn into favorite Mozart Madonna and Justin Timberlake songs. But the radio waves emitted by other things ... as stars and gas in space. It may not be able to dance, what these objects emit, but you can use to find out what's inside. MicrowaveIt ...
