Electromagnetic Spectrum and Light Properties

The video provides a comprehensive overview of the electromagnetic spectrum, explaining the properties of electromagnetic waves, including energy, frequency, and wavelength. It highlights the visible spectrum and the mnemonic for remembering rainbow colors. The video discusses ionizing radiation, its dangers, and safety measures. It also explores the applications of different electromagnetic waves, such as infrared, microwaves, and radio waves, in various fields. Finally, it explains how electromagnetic waves are produced and detected, with practical examples like microwave ovens.
