Electromagnetic waves are used to transmit long/short/fm wavelength radio waves and

tv/telephone /wireless signals or energies.they are also responsible for transmiting


energy in the form of microwaves,infrared radiation (IR),visible light (VIS),ultraviolet
light (UV),x-rays,and gamma rays.

The electromagnetic (EM)spectrum encompasses all wave frequencies, including radio,


visible light and x-rays. All EM aves are made up of photons that travel through space
until they interact with matter;some waves are absorbed and others are reflected.

Radio waves are the lowest – frequency waves in the EM spectrum. Radio waves can be used
to carry others signals to receivers that subsequently translate these signals into
usable information many objects, both natural and man-made , emit radio waves.

Microwaves;data and heat. Microwaves are the second-lowest frequency waves in the EM
spectrum. Whereas radio waves can be up to miles in length, microwaves measure from few
centimeters up to a foot. Due to their higher frequency, microwaves can penetrate
obstacles that interfere with radio waves such as clouds , smoke and rain.

Infrared waves are in the lower-middle range of frequencies in the em spectrum,between


microwaves and visible light.the size of infrared waves ranges from a few millimeters
down to microscopic lengths.the longer wavelength infrared waves produce heat and
include radiation emmited by fire, the sun and other heat-producing objects; shorter –
wavelength infrared rays do not produce much heat and are used in remote controls and
imaging technologies.

Visible light waves let you see the world around you. The different frequencies of visible
light are experienced by people as the colors of the rainbow.the frequencies move from
the lower wavelengths,detected as reds, up to the higher visible waveslengths , detected
as violet hues.

Ultraviolet waves have even shorter wavelengths than visible light. Uv waves are the
cause of sunburn and can cause cancer in living organisms.high-temperature processes emit
uv rays;these can be detected throughout the universe from every star in the sky.

x-rays are extremely high-energy waves with wavelengths between 0.03 and 3 nanometers
– not much longer than an atom. X-rays are emmited by sources producing very high
temperatures like the suns corona, which ismuch hotter than the surface of the sun.

gamma rays are the highest-frequency em waves , and are emmited by only the most
energetic cosmic objects such pulsars neutron stars, supernova and black holes .

global warming is the observed century scale rise in the average temperature of the
earth climate system and its related effects, as part of climate change . multiple lines of
scientific evidence show that the climate system Is warming

green house effect is the process by which radiation from a planets atmosphere warms the
planets surface to a temperature above that it would be without its atmosphere. Earts
natural greenhouse effect is critical to supporting life.
Climate change is a change in the statistic distribution of weather patterns when that
change last for an extended period of time . climate change may refer to a change in
average weather conditions or in the time variations of weather within the context of
longer term average conditions.
