Used in broadcasting

7. Microwaves
Radiowaves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies
Ex: radar guns

8. Infrared Rays Wavelengths are shorter than radiowaves
Ex: heat lamps and infrared cameras

9. Visible Light
Can see
White light can be separated into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet

10. Ultraviolet Rays
Energy is great enough to damage or kill living cells

11. X-rays
Can penetrate most matter
Too much exposure can cause cancer

12. Gamma Rays Shortest wavelengths Highest frequencies
Most penetrating of all waves
