The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and ...

Radio waves are defined by the ITU as: "electromagnetic waves of frequencies arbitrarily lower than 3000 GHz, propagated in space without artificial guide". [5] At the high frequency end the radio spectrum is bounded by the infrared band. The boundary between radio waves and infrared waves is defined at different frequencies in different ...
In the above graph, the first bar is a key to the electromagnetic radiations that either, don't or do penetrate the earth's atmosphere. Y is for yes and N is for no. Y is for yes and N is for no. Although some radiations are marked as N for no in the diagram, some waves do in fact penetrate the atmosphere , although extremely minimally compared ...
The waveguide E band is the range of radio frequencies from 60 GHz to 90 GHz in the electromagnetic spectrum, [1] [2] corresponding to the recommended frequency band of operation of WR12 waveguides. These frequencies are equivalent to wave lengths between 5 mm and 3.333 mm. The E band is in the EHF range of the radio spectrum
Original Edit1 with continuous colour scale Reason Ultra-enc value + svg + high quality (it's a pity the article isn't in the same shape) Proposed caption The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all electromagnetic radiation - ranging from radio waves through microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays and gamma rays in order of increasing frequency.
Electromagnetic – the hyperfine transition of hydrogen, also known as the hydrogen line or 21 cm line 2.4 GHz: Electromagnetic – microwave ovens, wireless LANs and cordless phones (starting in 1998) 2.6–3.8 GHz: A common desktop CPU speed as of 2014 5.8 GHz: Electromagnetic – cordless telephone frequency introduced in 2003 10 10: 10 GHz
Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light (or simply light). The optical spectrum is sometimes considered to be the same as the visible spectrum, but some authors define the term more broadly, to include the ultraviolet and infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum as well, known collectively as optical ...
