The following list is the "Electromagnetic Spectrum" in order of increasing wavelength and subsequently, decreasing frequency. Gamma Rays-wavelength: 0.01 nm X-rays -1 nm Ultra-violet Rays-0.1 micrometres Visible Light- Red light: 0.7 micrometres - Violet Light: 0.4 micrometres Infrared Radiation- 0.01 mm Microwaves-less than 10 cm, usually 1cm Radiowaves- Long, Medium and Short Waves:2km-10m -Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF): 10m-10cm Posted By: Bahar B.H.

What are the types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
All electromagnetic (EM) waves are in the EM spectrum. This is from "ELF" (3-30hz) through visible light (300Thz+), out past gamma rays. Any wave above DC that broadcasts into space is part of the EM spectrum.
Which band of em spectrum used in night sight?
infrared
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
Where is the visible light in the EM spectrum?
between 400 nm and 700 nm
What parts of the em spectrum can the arecibo telescope detect?
It i detects Radio waves.
Which of these statements about the EM spectrum is false?
Most of the EM spectrum is visible light.
Where is wave located on the em spectrum?
all of the em spectrum is measured i waves
The range of electromagnetic waves placed in a certain order is called the?
Well there is the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. Visible light is the light that we can see and they are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. On the EM spectrum there is radio/ TV, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet (UV), xrays,and gamma rays.
What is the relationship between and EM wave's wavelength and its location on the EM spectrum?
The EM spectrum is a chart of electromagnetic radiation, arranged by wave length. The chart may be arranged in ascending or descending order.Related Information:The charts could begin with radio waves, having the longest wavelength, and end with gamma rays, having the shortest wavelength or the order could be reversed.
How does the em spectrum effect what you see?
See:What_is_a_visible_spectrum
Name all the categories of the EM spectrum?
The categories of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, in the ascending order of their frequencies are:RadioMicrowaveInfraredVisibleUltravioletX-rayGammaHence, Radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelengths while Gamma rays have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelengths.(check related link for an image)
What to properties of EM waves change from one end of the EM spectrum to the other?
Wavelength and frequency :)
