Electromagnetic spectrum
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005321
The full range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, extending from very low-frequency radio waves to high-frequency gamma rays. It is typically divided into distinct regions based on wavelength, such as radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray. Each region interacts with matter in characteristic ways, influencing atmospheric processes and remote sensing applications.
