The Awsome Electromagnetic Spectrum

The Waves in your Radio
Do you like to listen to the radio a lot? Then you are using radio waves. They are the type of the waves that send voices and music like in your radio. The largest radio waves that you can get in the radio are the A.M. waves or AM radio even no one uses them. The way they transmit those waves are from a radio telescope. Those things use conducting metal which reflects radio waves to a focus point. That's all the info on radios, now what's next . . . . . PS: I can't put in any pics, sorry.
The Microwaves in your Microwave :>
All the waves that microwave isn't just for warming up your food. Those waves can penetrate haze, light, snow, clouds, and smoke to do something. Some people use it as a RADAR, like in subs, to detect objects and determine their range by transmitting short bursts of microwaves.
Some guy says " how does that help me with my food?" :>
I can infer you, this infrared is red enough.
Now lets talk about that heat seeking wave or also called infrared. the wave can get as big as, well around 10 .um and small is around 1.um. Three examples of infrared or warm things are the sunlight, a fire and a radiator. Snakes have this ability, but you don't want to find them.
The rainbow is visible light waves right?
These waves, we can see to our human naked eye. These waves are in the the form or colors of the rainbow. The longest wavelength is red and the shortest is violet. When all the colors come together, they make the color white. If you are wondering about the earth's natural light, well then look for the big star that shines on our planet. that is the earth's visible light. Don't even try to find the end of the rainbow, only leprechauns can find it.
The Ultra of violet, Ultraviolet waves
The ultraviolet waves are too small to see, but some animals or insects can see them. One is a bumble bee, the master of honey and working. When you go to the beach, you stay out too long and you get a sunburn. Didn't you wander sometimes what causes that, the answer is ultraviolet waves burning your skin. The only layer in the earth's atmosphere is the Ozone, so don't stay out so long.
X marks the spot with the rays of the X-ray waves.
If you broke your arm, get an X-ray with X-ray waves at the hospital. The best X-ray you can get is when the wavelength decreases, which makes the energy of it increase.These waves can't goes through earth cause it's too thick. So, don't try to look for treasure. And if you are trying to X-ray space for stuff, the only place you can do it is on a satellites. Better check that arm.
The destruction of gamma rays
The way you get these rays are by the radioactive atoms and in the nuclear explosions. The two differences that this wave have and the others don't is that it has the least wavelength and the most energy in it. The only astronomical objects are balloons and satellites.
