Electromagnetic Spectrum

Radio and Microwaves,

Have the lowest energy,

And the longest wavelengths.

They’re used in most technology,

Like sending signals to TV,

They’re necessary for connection

Next to infrared spectrum,

And are often used to reheat meat.

Electromagnetic Radiation

From gamma rays

To radio stations.

Because the photons behave,

As both particles and waves.

From Ultraviolet

to Infrared,

From 400

to 800.

Are the colors

we can see,

The visible spectrum

ROYGBIV

Electromagnetic Radiation

From gamma rays

To radio stations.

Because the photons behave,

As both particles and waves.

Infrared and Ultraviolet

Side by side to visible light

Hiding just beyond our vision

Disrupting DNA division.

Cause of tan, sunburn and cancer.

Useful when used for heat transfer.

Optical fibre communication,

infrared or thermal vision.

Electromagnetic Radiation

From gamma rays

to radio stations.

Because the photons behave,

As both particles and waves.

End with gamma and X-rays

High energy short wavelengths.

See through flesh or burn  away.

Good for medical procedures,

Cat Scans, Ultrasounds, and tumours.

Does not harm things that are soft,

But for cells, it hurts a lot.

Pass through all but solid and rock.
