Electromagnetic energy powers everything from sunlight to Wi-Fi. Learn how it works, what the spectrum covers, and where it shows up in medicine and daily life.
Electromagnetic energy travels in waves and spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays. The human eye can only detect only a small portion of this spectrum called visible light.
Electromagnetic waves are the self-propagating, mutual oscillation of electric and magnetic fields. The propagation of electromagnetic energy is often referred to as radiation.
