Electromagnetic Spectrum

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to tune into your favorite radio station while driving, but you're surrounded by a sea of static and other stations. This situation is similar to the electromagnetic spectrum, where just like radio stations, different types of electromagnetic radiation are all around us, each with its own specific frequency or wavelength. Just as you need to precisely adjust your radio dial to catch your favorite station amidst the noise, scientists must identify and measure the specific wavelengths or frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum to study or utilize different types of radiation, like radio waves, microwaves, or visible light.
