what are electromagnetic radiation

Adewale Ogundimu

Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is a form of energy that is all around us and takes many forms, such as radio waves, microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays. Sunlight is also a form of EM energy, but visible light is only a small portion of the EM spectrum, which contains a broad range of electromagnetic wavelengths. Cell phone transmissions are an example of how we use electromagnetic radiation. In the next set of lessons, you will learn more.
