The major regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and their corresponding wavelengths are as follows:
1. Radio waves: Wavelengths range from about 1 millimeter to over 100 kilometers. 2. Microwaves: Wavelengths range from about 1 millimeter to 1 meter. 3. Infrared radiation: Wavelengths range from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter. 4. Visible light: Wavelengths range from about 400 to 700 nanometers. 5. Ultraviolet radiation: Wavelengths range from about 10 to 400 nanometers. 6. X-rays: Wavelengths range from about 0.01 to 10 nanometers. 7. Gamma rays: Wavelengths are less than 0.01 nanometers.
