Radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays.

-Waves can travel through a vaccum
-These waves radiate in all directions
-travel through speed of light
-they are transverse waves
-they are made by interaction between an rlectric and a magnetic field.

These are the main points. I hope this will help you! ❤️.

These types include gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet, infrared, microwaves and radio waves. Together with visible light, all these types of radiation make up what we call the electromagnetic spectrum - the complete spectrum of radiation.
