describe each part of the electromagnetic spectrum in terms of approximate scale of wavelength and temperature of objects which radiation is emitted
Added by Seth J.
Step 1
Radio waves: These have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from about 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers. Objects emitting radio waves typically have temperatures around 10 K to 300 K. Show more…
