The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all types of EM radiation. Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out with different energies. In the daily life, two commonly known EM waves are the light wave and the radio wave.
The other types of EM radiation that make up the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, infrared light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays.
The wavelengths of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are related by the following relation:
λX<λUV<λIR<λMW
