X-rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, making them very high in energy. They are used in medical settings like doctor's offices. Gamma rays also have short wavelengths and high frequencies/energies and are produced by radioactive materials and nuclear reactions. Ultraviolet rays come from the sun and can cause skin damage over long exposures. Visible light has wavelengths detectable by the human eye in the colors of the rainbow. Infrared rays are emitted as heat and used in devices like heat lamps. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies, and are used for communications technologies like TV and radio signals. The electromagnetic spectrum orders different types of electromagnetic radiation from gamma to radio waves by their wavelength and frequency.
