The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from cosmic rays to radio waves. Although we don't look at cosmic rays all too much in this unit, the order from highest to lowest energy in the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, mierowaves, and radio waves, For 3 sections of the EM spectrum, name 1-2 examples that can be used in our lives. We have provided an example down below. EM Spectrum Sections Examples Cosmic Rays Gamma Rays X-rays Ultraviolet Radiation Visible Light Our Sun Glowsticks Infrared Radiation Microwaves Radio Waves
