Electromagnetic Spectrum

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find the right radio station while driving, where each station plays different types of music and talk shows. This is similar to the electromagnetic spectrum, where each "station" represents a different wavelength or frequency of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and X-rays. Just as you tune your radio to find a specific type of content, scientists "tune" their instruments to detect specific parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing them to observe and understand the diverse "shows" of energy and information emitted from various sources in the universe.
