All Types of Electromagnetic Waves
This unique NASA resource on the web in print and with companion videos introduces electromagnetic waves their behaviors and how scientists visualize these data. It ranges from extremely low frequencies such as those from power lines to extremely high frequencies x-rays and gamma rays and includes both non-ionizing and ionizing radiation. Physics For Kids Types Of Electromagnetic Waves Electromagnetic Spectrum Physics Physics Lessons Electromagnetic waves are made of oscillating magnetic and electric fields and like all waves they carry energy. . Our brains interpret these different frequencies into colors including red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet. Electromagnetic waves unlike any other types of waves contain a magnetic field and also an electric field oscillating perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. The lowest frequency portion comes in radio waves generally has waveleng...
