Appendix 9: Electromagnetic Spectrum: Frequency Range Wavelength Range Radio Waves

This document provides a summary of the electromagnetic spectrum, listing the frequency ranges and wavelength ranges of different types of electromagnetic waves including radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays. It breaks down the spectrum into specific bands within each type, such as AM and FM radio under radio waves, L-band through Ku-band under microwaves, and near infrared through extreme ultraviolet under light. The table provides the frequency and wavelength ranges for each listed band in the electromagnetic spectrum.
