The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is just a name that scientists give a bunch of types of radiation when they want to talk about them as a group. ... Here are the different types of radiation in the EM spectrum, in order from lowest energy to highest:

The truth is, the electromagnetic spectrum can be expressed in terms of energy, wavelength, or frequency. Each way of thinking about the EM spectrum is related to the others in a precise mathematical way. The relationships are:

In this applet, you can click on the wavelength/frequncy scale and change the wavelength and frequency by draggin the mouse around. You can also change the wavelength by using the arrow keys on your keyboard. Holding the shiftkey down while pressing the left or right arrow keys changes the wavelength by a factor of 10.

The violet and red "ends" of the optical spectrum are not really "ends" at all, but rather simply the limits to the portion of the EM spectrum to which our eyes are sensitive. Beyond red light lies the region known as the infrared, which is also simply known as heat radiation.
