Electromagnetic Spectrum

Match the following descriptions to the correct form of electromagnetic radiation

• Infrared

• Produced by the sun & can cause sunburns

• Gamma

• The waves we can see

• Microwaves

• Detected as heat, used in remote controls

• Ultraviolet

• The highest frequency waves, very dangerous to humans

• Visible light

• Used to cook food and in cell phones
