Electromagnetic Spectrum
The electromagnetic spectrum is a band of energy frequencies from radio waves to gamma waves, from the very lowest frequencies to the highest possible frequencies.
The spectrum is arranged by the frequency of its waves, from the longest, lowest energy waves to the shortest, highest energy waves.
