State

The electromagnetic spectrum orders all electromagnetic radiation by wavelength and frequency, from long-wavelength radio waves to short-wavelength gamma rays.

Show

Visible light occupies only a narrow band within this spectrum, sandwiched between longer-wavelength infrared and shorter-wavelength ultraviolet radiation.

Watch for

Every region of the spectrum, radio through gamma, is still electromagnetic radiation — only the wavelength and resulting energy differ.
