Radio Waves

This radio wave has the longest wavelength and frequency in the EM Spectrum, have a low energy level and are non-ionizing radiation.

Radio Waves

This wave is used in Broadcasting, specifically used in AM and FM radio to transmit sound signals over long distances

Radio Waves

This type of EM Wave carries audio and video signals from stations to TV sets.

Radio Waves

This type of EM Wave enables wireless communication in phones and walkie-talkies.

Radio Waves

This type of EM Wave helps determine location through satellite signals.

Radio Waves

This type of EM wave uses radio frequencies to connect devices wirelessly to the internet.

Microwaves

This type of EM Wave have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radio waves, and are non-ionizing radiations.

Microwaves

This type of EM Wave vibrates water molecules in food, producing heat for cooking.

Microwaves

This type of EM Wave is used in weather forecasting and air traffic control to detect objects and track movement.

Microwaves

This type of EM Wave transmits signals between Earth and satellites for TV, internet, and phone services.

Microwaves

This type of EM Wave is used for short-distance data transfer. 

Es’hailSat

It is a Qatar-based communications satellite operator, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Doha.

Infrared

Have longer wavelengths than visible light but shorter than microwaves, sometimes called heat radiation, and are non-ionizing radiation.

Infrared

This EM Wave is used to send infrared signals to control TVs and appliances 

Infrared

This type of EM wave findsheat differences for night vision and rescue operations.

Infrared

This type of EM wave is used in heat lamps to relieve muscle pain and improve blood flow.

Infrared

This type of EM wave helps sensors detect body heat and motion.

Visible Light

Allows humans and animals to see the world around them, captures images through light reflection, and absorption. 

Visible Light

This type of EM wave captures images through light reflection and absorption

Ultraviolet

Widely known for its role in sunburns, skin aging, and cancer risks. It is is non-ionizing, meaning it does not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules.

Ultraviolet

Type of EM wave that is used to destroy bacteria and viruses in hospitals and laboratories

Ultraviolet

Type of EM wave that detects security markings invisible under normal light.

Ultraviolet

Helps skin produce vitamin D and treats skin diseases

Ultraviolet

Reveals hidden stains or substances at crime scenes.

X Rays

Considered ionizing radiation, which means they have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules, potentially causing significant biological damage at the cellular and molecular level, and they can pass through soft tissues, making them useful formedical imaging.

X Rays

Type of EM waves that penetrates soft tissues to create images of bones and teeth.

X Rays

Type of EM waves that is used in airports to check bags for hidden objects.

Gamma Rays

They have the highest energy, have a very high frequency and has the shortest wavelength in the EM spectrum. They are produced by nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, and other high-energy processes. They are also considered ionizing radiation.

Gamma Rays

Type of EM wave that destroys cancer cells in radiation therapy
