Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electromagnetic radiation (sometimes abbreviated EMR ) is a ubiquitous phenomenon that takes the form of self-propagating waves in a vacuum or in matter. It consists of electric and magnetic field ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation
Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out as it goes-- visible light that comes from a lamp in your house and radio waves that come from a radio station are two types of electromagnetic radiation. Other examples of EM radiation are microwaves, infrared and ultraviolet light, X-rays and gamma-rays.
