These waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. They waves include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. They are distinguished by their different frequencies and wavelengths. In visible light, these differences account for different colors. Wavelengths can range from hundreds of kilometers (radio waves) to less than the size of an atom (gamma rays). Because of these differences, various types of ...
