Question

Explain the electromagnetic spectrum with a diagram.

Answer 1

Electromagnetic Spectrum : $\to$ The basic source of electromagnetic wave is accelerated charge. This produces the changing electric and magnetic field constitute and electromagnetic wave. An electromagnetic wave may be have its wavelength varying from zero to infinity all of them are not discovered. But some are known

The classification of electromagnetic waves according to frequency or wavelength is called ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM

electromagnetic spectrum

S.No. Type Wavelength Range Frequency Range

1 Radio waves $>0.1m$ $<3\times {10}^9㎐$

2 Micro waves $0.1m-1㎜$ $3\times {10}^9$ to $3\times {10}^{11}㎐$

3 Infrared $1㎜$ to $7000A°$ $3\times {10}^{11}$ to $4.3\times {10}^{17}㎐$

4 Visible light $7000$ to $4000A°$ $4.3\times {10}^{14}㎐$ to $7.5to{10}^{14}㎐$

5 Ultraviolet $4000A°$ to $10A°$ $7.5\times {10}^{17}$ to $3\times {10}^{17}㎐$

6 X-Rays $10A°$ to $0.01A°$ $3\times {10}^{17}$ to $3\times {10}^{20}㎐$

7 Gamma Rays $<0.01A°$ $>3\times {10}^{20}㎐$
