Answers & Comments
Answer:
1. The electromagnetic spectrum is the complete range of electromagnetic waves placed in order of increasing frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays.
2. Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation, as are radio waves, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma-rays. Microwaves fall in the range of the EM spectrum between radio and infrared light.
3. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the highest energies. Gamma rays have such short wavelengths, that astronomers usually discuss them in terms of energy
