2. What is the Electromagnetic
Spectrum?
During The Case of the Mysterious Events, we learned about the energy provided by the sun.
Believe it or not, those sources of energy make up the electromagnetic spectrum. The
electromagnetic spectrum from shortest wavelength and most powerful to least powerful and
longest wavelength is: Gamma Rays, X-rays, Ultra-violet light, Visible Light, Infrared
Radiation, Radio Waves, and Microwaves.

3. The definition of Electromagnetic
Spectrum
the entire spectrum, considered as a continuum, of all
kinds of electric, magnetic, and visible radiation, from
gamma rays having a wavelength of 0.001 angstrom to
long waves having a wavelength of more than 1 million
km.
The entire range of electromagnetic radiation. At one
end of the spectrum are gamma rays, which have the
shortest wavelengths and high frequencies. At the
other end are radio waves, which have the longest
wavelengths and low frequencies. Visible light is near
the center of the spectrum.

4. What are some things each part of the
electromagnetic spectrum provide us?
Radio Waves can create images.
Micro Waves generated are tuned to frequencies that can be absorbed by the food
Infrared can generate light
Visible light is pretty self explanatory. (It provides light)
Ultraviolet light protects the ozone layer ultraviolet rays.
X-ray i mages of our Sun can yield important clues to solar flares and other changes on our Sun
that can affect space weather
Gamma rays are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions
