This type of radiation is used in high-energy astronomy and is also found in nuclear decay processes. It is frequently used to treat cancer in a method known as radiotherapy.

This type of radiation is commonly used to transmit information long distances and is sometimes used in astronomy to look at low-energy objects. It is considered to be the lowest energy, longest wavelength, and lowest frequency type of E&M radiation.

This type of E&M radiation causes sunburn but is also responsible for curing a disease known as the Rickets which is caused by vitamin D deficiency. It has a higher frequency and energy than visible light does.

This type of E&M radiation is the second-highest energy type that we classify. It is commonly used in doctor's offices to confirm fractures or broken bones. It also has some uses in high-energy astronomy.

This type of E&M radiation is emitted by all objects that have heat. It is also known as thermal radiation or 'heat rays'. Some applications include night-vision goggles.

This type of E&M radiation is the most useful for humans and other animals, as it lets us see. It also has many scientific applications, since scientists often need to create a single wavelength of this type of radiation to use in their labs.

This is the type of E&M radiation with the most energy, highest frequency, and shortest wavelength.

This is the E&M radiation with the lowest energy, longest wavelength, and lowest frequency.
