This document describes electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum. It states that electromagnetic waves travel through empty space at 300,000 km/s as transverse waves, transferring energy. It distinguishes light and sound waves, noting that light waves are transverse waves that do not require a medium, while sound waves are longitudinal waves that require a solid, liquid, or gas medium. The document discusses that electromagnetic radiation comes in quanta called photons, with higher frequency photons having more energy. It lists the types of electromagnetic radiation in order of frequency/energy - radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays - providing some examples of uses for each type. It encourages recalling the detrimental health
