Electromagnetic Radiation
is a form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space and time.
There are many types of waves:
Radio Waves
- communication
Microwaves
- used to cook
Infrared
- “heat waves”
Visible Light
- detected by your eyes
Ultraviolet
- causes sunburns
X-rays
- penetrates tissue
Gamma Rays
- most energetic
