The electromagnetic spectrum consists of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic waves, which are classified by their frequency and wavelength and common uses. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and are used to transmit general information, while microwaves are used in microwave ovens to heat food by moving hydrogen atoms. The experiment detected microwave wavelengths by observing melted chocolate spots. Infrared radiation is emitted by thermal agitation and detected by special cameras, while ultraviolet light from the sun is responsible for many tumors. X-rays are used to see hidden objects and gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths; one hypothesis is that dark matter consists of axion particles that transform between gamma rays and photons during supernova explosions.
