Electromagnetic Spectrum

Have you ever seen a rainbow? Did you know that it’s made up of different colors? Just like a rainbow, the things we see are made up of different colors of light. But there are also some kinds of light we can’t see! These are called ”electromagnetic waves,” and they have different colors too. Some waves are really big (like radio waves), and some are really small (like x-rays). Scientists use these waves to learn about the world around us.
