visible lightwaves have a color spectrum .

# data[].attributes.body
frequency is the number of waves per unit of time.

# data[].attributes.body
Gamma rays the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency.

# data[].attributes.body
x rays waves are used to penetrate solids and are used in doctor’s offices and as airports.

# data[].attributes.body
ultraviolet waves are utilized by insects to locate nectar.

# data[].attributes.body
infrared waves are often used in heat lamps.

# data[].attributes.body
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than those of terahertz wavelengths, but relatively short for radio waves.

# data[].attributes.body
radio waves are transverse waves that disturb electromagnetic fields.

# data[].attributes.body
wavelength is the distance between one point of a wave to the same point in the next wave.

# data[].attributes.body
longitudinalwaves occur when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave.

# data[].attributes.body
transversewaves occur when the motion of the medium is at right angles (perpendicular) to the direction of the wave.

# data[].attributes.body
electromagnetic waves are produced by stars and galaxies.

# data[].attributes.body
mechanical waves disturb matter.

# data[].attributes.body
a wave produced by the acceleration of an electric charge and propagated by the periodic variation of intensities of, usually,perpendicular electric and magnetic fields.
