Electromagnetic Spectrum The electromagnetic wave spectrum is a chart showing the order of wave frequencies from smallest to biggest. The electromagnetic spectrum goes from low frequencies used for modern radio to gamma radiation at the short-wavelength end, covering wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atom.

Examples of Electromagnetic Spectrum Radio waves- T.V. Microwaves- Radar or GPS Infra Red- Military use it to detect body heat Visible light- Light from a lamp UV Rays- The suns rays X-rays- An x-ray machine Gamma Rays- Power plant

Transparent Transparency is when an object allows light to pass through it. This is a physical property. Transparent materials look clear, overall you see one color, or any combination leading up to a brilliant spectrum of every color.

Translucent Translucent materials allow light to pass through but not clearly. Also a physical property They seem clear but have the overall look of one color or a combination of colors making a color spectrum of every color. Can’t be seen through clearly.

Opaque An Opaque material doesn’t allow light to pass through. There are two different processes that lead to making materials opaque; Reflection and Absorption.
