What do radio waves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays have in?

0

They can all travel through a vacuum as electromagnetic waves. Infrared is lower frequency, but is similar to microwaves (like radar), or radio. Beyond visible light, the waves get shorter. Gamma Rays can be down to the wavelength size of an atom…or the orbit of the electron that produce the wave…but such short energetic bursts are left to particle physics and you’ll seldom see its observation outside outside the lab, except during at atomic test. The shorter the waves, the more influence it has atomically. Such as microwaves can heat water molecules in a microwave oven (the oven’s secret), and infrared can heat too, but does it exterior to interior like a conventional oven.
