Frequency : <10^9 Hz

Wavelength : > 0.3 M

Practical application :

-TV broadcasting

-AM and FM signals

-Heart rate monitors

-Cellphone communication

-MRI’s

Negative Factors / Health Precautions: When radio waves pass through the human body at extremely high doses, they can break down tissue. This could also damage DNA structure. Radio waves have been linked to headaches, sleep disorders, and may contribute to more serious illnesses like cancer and brain tumors.

Future Possibilities:  Future possibilities for the use of radio waves include faster GPS signals and better cellular and television signals. Another future possibility is an increase in astronomical knowledge.
Location: Radio waves are on the far left of the spectrum.
General Description: Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation. They are farthest on the left on the electromagnetic spectrum. This means they have the longest wavelengths and the lowest frequencies.

Frequency : 10^9 - 3•10^11 Hz

Wavelength : 0.001 - 0.3 M

Practical application :

-Microwave ovens

-Bluetooth headsets

-Broadband wireless internet

-Radar

-GPS

Negative Factors / Health Precautions: Long exposure to significant levels of microwaves is known to cause cataracts in your eyes, which is a clouding of the lens. This prevents you from seeing clearly. Plus, some research in the past has indicated that even the small doses of microwaves from mobile phones might affect parts of your brain.

Future Possibilities:  A future possibility microwaves have is being able to make accurate predictions of what the weather forecast will be. Microwaves might be able to be used in landing systems for airplanes. They might also be able to be used for the global navigation of satellites in the future as well.
Location:  Microwaves are second starting from the left.

General description : Microwaves are another type of electromagnetic radiation. They are second starting from the left of the electromagnetic spectrum. This means that despite their name, radio waves are not the shortest.

Frequency : 3•10^11 - 3.9•10^14 Hz
Wavelength : 7.6•10^-7 - 0.001 M
Practical application :
-Night vision
-Remote control
-Heat seeking missiles.
Negative Factors / Health Precautions:
-Greenhouse Gas effect
-Long exposure can cause damage to the lens and cornea of the eye.
Future Possibilities:  Future possibilities include that they want to be able to send cameras to the astronomical world and take good quality pictures using infrared rays.
Location: Infrared light is third on the spectrum.
General description : Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, as are radio waves, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and microwaves. Infrared (IR) light is the part of the EM spectrum that people encounter most in everyday life, although much of it goes unnoticed. It is invisible to human eyes, but people can feel it as heat.

# data[].attributes.body
Frequency : 3.9•10^14 - 7.9•10^14 Hz

Wavelength : 3.8•10^-7 - 7.6•10^-7 M

Practical application :

-Laser printers
-Lightbulbs

Negative Factors / Health Precautions:

Too much of this light can damage your eyes, but other than that, it isn't to dangerous.

Future possibilities:
Data could one day travel by light.
Location: Visible light is the small region right after infrared light and before ultraviolet light.
General Description: Visible light is the only part of the spectrum visible to humans. It includes red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light. Plus, the sun is the natural source of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Frequency : 7.9•10^14 - 3.4•10^16 Hz

Wavelength : 8x10^-9 - 3.8x10^-7 M

Practical application :

-Black Lights

-Security Imaging on Money
-Used to sterilize medical equipment

Negative Factors / Health Precautions:

Too much of this light causes extreme sunburn. Plus, extreme exposure can cause skin cancer.

Future Possibilities: A future possibility is treating water with ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which also serves as a "secondary barrier." It could also prevent reproduction of other key pathogens.
Location: UV light is right after visible light on the spectrum.

General description : Ultraviolet light is light that has shorter wavelengths than visible light. Although UV waves are invisible to the human eye, some insects, such as bumblebees, can see UV light.

Frequency :>5x1019

Wavelength :<6x10-12

Practical application :

-Sterilizes medical equipment

-Can kill cancer cells and is used in cancer treatment as an option

Negative Factors / Health Precautions:

It kills all living cells (healthy and unhealthy). You can also get radiation sickness. Plus, it can cause cancer.

Future Possibilities: The possibility of gamma ray optical systems introduces a whole new way of looking at the universe.
Location: Gamma rays are farthest on the right of the electromagnetic spectrum.

General description :Gamma Rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and are in nuclear explosions.

# data[].attributes.body
Frequency : 3.4x10^16 -  5x10^19 Hz

Wavelength : 6x10^-12 - 8x10^-12 M

Practical application :

-Medical imaging

-Airport security

Negative Factors / Health Precautions:

X-rays can cause damage to cells.

Future Possibilities: X-ray detectors that give images in true color and far greater detail than conventional X-rays and current CT scans is a future possibility.
Location: X-rays are second to last on the spectrum.

General description :They are shorter in wavelength than UV rays and longer than gamma rays. They are typically used to take pictures of the human body.

# data[].attributes.body
The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of all electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength

Gamma Rays are highest frequency, then X-Ray, Ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves and radio waves being the lowest frequency.
