Science Album #1

Description:This science album is about the different types of invisible light



1.Radio Wave:Radio Waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelenghts in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light.Like all other electromagnetic waves,they travel at the speed of light.Naturally-occurring radio waves are made by lighting,or by astronomical objects.



2.MicroWaves:MicroWaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelenghts ranging from as long as one meter to as short as one milimeter,or equivalently,with frequencies between 300 MHz (0.3 GHz ) and 300 GHz.



3.Infrared Light:Infrared ligt is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelenght between 0.7 and 300 micrometers wich equates to a frequency range between aproximately 1 and 430 THz.Wavelengts are longer than that of visible light but shorter than that of terahertz radiation microwaves.




4.Ultraviolet Light:Ultraviolet light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelenght shorter than that of visible light,but longer than x-rays,in the range 10 nm to 400nm and energies from 3eV to 124eV.It is so named because the spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than those that humans identify as the colour violet.



5.X- Rays:X radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation.X-rays have a wavelenght in the range of  0.01 to 10 nanometers,corresponing to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz and energies in the range 120eV to 120keV.They are shorter in wavelenght than UV rays and longer than Gamma Rays8


 6.Gamma Rays:Gamma radiation, also known as gamma rays,is electromagnetic radiaton of high frequency.They are produced bi sub-atomic particle interactions such as electron-positron annihilation,neutral pion decay,fusion,fission or inverse Compton scatering in astrophysical processes.
