Applications of the electromagnetic spectrum classes The next list presents some examples of the uses of the different classes of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Energy per photon of all electromagnetic spectrum classes The amount of energy is directly related to the frequency and the electromagnetic wavelength of the photon. The higher the frequency of the photon, the greater its energy and the longer the photon wavelength, the less its energy. The next table presents the energy per photon for … Read more

Wavelength of all electromagnetic spectrum classes Wavelength is the distance between successive repeated values in a wave pattern. The next table shows the range of wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation.

Frequency of all electromagnetic spectrum classes Electromagnetic radiation can be classified according to the frequency of the wave, in ascending order, in the following ranges: radio waves, microwaves, terahertz radiation, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma radiation. The next table shows the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
