Electromagnetic Spectrum Explained: From Gamma Rays to Radio Waves #3661729 (License: Personal Use)

The diagram illustrates the full electromagnetic spectrum, ordered by decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength-from gamma rays (10⁻¹² m) to radio waves (10³ m). Each band is annotated with representative sources (e.g., atomic nuclei, humans, buildings), approximate object scales, and peak emission temperatures, including the Sun’s surface at ~6000 K. A thermal bar at the bottom links blackbody radiation temperatures to visible colors.

Used in physics, astronomy, and educational websites to teach electromagnetic radiation fundamentals; ideal for students, educators, and science communicators seeking visual reinforcement of spectral concepts.
