  1. Electromagnetic Waves By Ryan Schoenthaler

  2. Electromagnetic Waves • Electromagnetic waves are waves produced by electric charges and don’t require mediums. There are seven different types of electromagnetic waves including, Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.

  3. Radio Waves • Radio waves have the longest wave length. Their wave length can be from as longer then a football or just as short. They are used for bringing radio signals, television, telescopes, and cell phones.

  4. Micro Waves • Mircowaves are the next shortest wavelength. They can be measured from centimeters to almost a foot. They are used for cooking food and for remote sensing.

  5. Infrared light • Infrared light can range from the size of a pin head to the size of a cell depending on the intensity of the infrared light. They are used as infrared vision and the remote signal to your tv.

  6. Visible Light • Visible light is the light that you can see. Its all of the different colors that you can see that make up visible light. The farther right on the spectrum scale the longer the wave lengths get.

  7. Ultraviolet Waves • Ultraviolet waves are to short for humans to see but some insects can. Ultraviolet lights are divided into 3 parts near ultraviolet, far ultraviolet, and extreme ultraviolet. The intensity of the wave is what group its put in.

  8. X-Rays • X-Rays are very short and very powerful waves used to take pictures of bones through the skin.

  9. Gamma Rays • Gamma Rays are the shortest and most powerful wave on the spectrum. They are made with nuclear explosions and radiation they can kill every living cell. They are used to help fight cancer.
