The full electromagnetic spectrum is the orderly classification of every possible electromagnetic wave by wavelength or frequency (related by c=fλ in vacuum), running continuously from the longest-wavelength, lowest-frequency radio waves to the shortest-wavelength, highest-frequency gamma rays, with visible light forming only a narrow band roughly in the middle. Radio waves (a few Hz to 109 Hz) are produced by accelerated charges oscillating in conducting wires (antennas), show reflection and diffraction, and carry radio and television broadcasts and cellular voice communication in the UHF band. Microwaves (109 to 1011 Hz) are produced by specialised vacuum-tube devices -- the klystron, the magnetron, and the Gunn diode -- undergo reflection and can be polarised, and are used in radar for aircraft navigation and vehicle-speed detection, in microwave ovens, and for long-distance satellite communication. Infrared radiation (1011 to 4×1014 Hz), sometimes called heat radiation, is produced by hot bodies and by molecules undergoing rotational and vibrational transitions, and is used in infrared detectors aboard Earth satellites for military surveillance and to observe crop growth, in night-vision/infrared photography, in physiotherapy for muscular strain, to maintain the Earth's warmth through the greenhouse effect, and in remote controls for TVs and other appliances. Visible light (4×1014 to 8×1014 Hz) is produced by incandescent bodies and by excited atoms in gases, obeys the ordinary laws of reflection and refraction, shows interference, diffraction, polarisation and the photoelectric effect, and is what produces the sensation of vision -- it is also used to probe molecular structure and the arrangement of electrons in the outer shells of atoms. Ultraviolet radiation (8×1014 to 1017 Hz), from the Sun, arcs and ionized gases, sterilises instruments and destroys bacteria, drives burglar alarms, reveals invisible writing and fingerprints, and aids atomic-structure study, though most is absorbed by atmospheric ozone and can be harmful to the human body. X-rays (1017 to 1019 Hz), produced by suddenly stopping high-speed electrons at a high-atomic-number target or by transitions among the innermost atomic orbits, penetrate more deeply than UV and are used to study inner atomic electron shells and crystal structures and, medically, to detect fractures, diseased organs, and stones. Gamma rays (1018 Hz and above), produced by radioactive nuclear transitions and the decay of certain elementary particles, cause chemical reactions on photographic plates, fluorescence, ionisation and diffraction, carry no charge, have the greatest penetrating power of any region, are used in radiotherapy for cancer and tumours and to sterilise food by killing pathogenic microorganisms, and remain harmful to the human body. Note that alpha and beta rays -- streams of helium nuclei and electrons respectively -- are particle radiation, not electromagnetic waves, whereas gamma rays are genuinely electromagnetic; this distinction is a common source of confusion when identifying which forms of radioactive emission belong to the electromagnetic spectrum.
