    The document describes the electromagnetic spectrum, which consists of different types of electromagnetic radiation ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. It notes that electromagnetic radiation travels via photon wave particles at the speed of light and carries radiant energy. A diagram shows the different types of electromagnetic radiation organized by increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength, and some of their applications are listed. The visible light portion of the spectrum is further described.
