NASA's Imagine the Universe: Electromagnetic Spectrum

Electromagnetic Spectrum Includes charts to explain the electromagnetic spectrum and formulas to plug in different variables.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Tutorial Includes a short interactive tutorial.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum Includes a description of the electromagnetic spectrum, plus pages on radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet, x-rays and gamma rays.

The Physics Classroom Includes a tutorial about the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electromagnetic Waves This site from the University of Colorado has an interactive tutorial about Electromagnetic Theory, microwaves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Use the Table of Contents button at the bottom of the screen to skip to different sections.

The Electromagnetic Spectrum - Index NASA has produced a wonderfully informative site on the topic of electromagnetic waves. It is efficiently arranged so that it is easy to navigate. Initial links are provided to detailed definitions of waves, electromagnetic waves, and wavelengths. Links are also provided to explanations of the different types of electromagnetic waves, beginning with radio waves, which are the longest, and continuing in descending order to gamma rays, which are the shortest. Also included are microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. Each page is liberally illustrated with photos and graphics.

The Nature of Electromagnetic Radiation Visible light represents only a small portion of the entire electromagnetic spectrum of radiation that extends from high-frequency gamma rays through X-rays, ultraviolet light, infrared radiation and microwaves to very low frequency long-wavelength radio waves. An interactive Java tutorial that can be manipulated in order to study some of the properties of these waves.

A Self-Guided Tour of the Electromagnetic Spectrum The infrared section of the electromagnetic spectrum is also called radiant heat. All objects give off infrared radiation. Scroll through this self-guided tour of the electromagnetic spectrum. The topics you will learn about are: Infrared; Light; Radio; Microwave; Visible Light; Ultraviolet; X-ray; and Gamma.

Windows to the Universe: The Electromagnetic Spectrum This site, from the National Earth Sciece Teachers Association, offers short explanations of the Electromagnetic Spectrum as well as its forms - gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation and radio waves.
