Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer - The Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) consists of waves . The waves contains electric 

and magnetic energy . 

The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) includes different types of energy waves . At one end f the spectrum . 

There are very low energy waves . 

Radio waves are an example of low energy waves . At the other end of the spectrum , there are very high energy waves . Gamma rays are an example of high energy waves .

Frequently and Wave length are used to describe SMR. Frequency refers to the no. of waves per second . 

Wavelengths refers to the distance between two adjacent wave peaks . 

The higher wave frequency the shorter its wavelengths. For example Gamma rays have very small wave length 

and very high frequency . They also have alot of energy .

There are seven natural forms of EMR , Gamma rays have the highest energy and shortest wave length . 

Then come x-rays , ultraviolet light , visible light , infrared radiation and microwave radiations .
