they travel in the velocity of light (3*10⁸ ms⁻¹)

Electromagnetic spectrum is obtained according to their wave length and the frequency. Due to wave length range it's categorized. Here is the decreasing order of wave length and increasing order of different wave types in electromagnetic spectrum

  • Radio Wave
  • Micro Wave
  • IR wave
  • Light Wave
  • UV rays
