Electromagnetic Spectrum Flashcards
Microwaves
Number 2 on the spectrum.
Electromagnetic radiation that has shorter wavelengths and higher frequency and carries more energy than radio weights
Radio waves
Number 1 on the spectrum.
Electromagnetic radiation that has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency
Infrared waves
Number 3 on the spectrum
Electromagnetic radiation that has wavelengths shorter than microwaves the longer then the visible spectrum
Ultraviolet rays
Number 4 on the spectrum.
Electromagnetic radiation that carries more energy than the visible spectrum but less energy than x-rays
X-rays
Number 5 on the spectrum.
Very high energy electromagnetic radiation can penetrate human tissue
Gamma rays
