    The document discusses electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic waves, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic fields are produced by electrically charged objects and can be static or dynamic. Electromagnetic waves are formed when electric and magnetic fields oscillate together and propagate through space at the speed of light. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all types of electromagnetic radiation ranging from very short to very long wavelengths across seven regions including gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.

    t looks like you're asking about "electromagnetic," which might refer to electromagnetic fields,

    electromagnetic waves, or the electromagnetic spectrum. Let's break down these concepts for
    clarity.

    Electromagnetic Fields
    An electromagnetic field (EM field) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects.
    It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field. EM fields extend
    indefinitely throughout space and describe the electromagnetic interaction. They can be static
    (like the field around a permanent magnet or around a stationary charged particle) or dynamic (as
    in the case of fields between moving charges).

    Electromagnetic Waves
    When electric and magnetic fields oscillate together, they form electromagnetic waves, which
    propagate through space. These waves are produced by the acceleration of charged particles.
    They travel at the speed of light (approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum) and
    do not require a medium to travel through, distinguishing them from mechanical waves that need
    a medium (like air, water, or solids).

    Electromagnetic waves carry energy, momentum, and angular momentum away from their
    source particle and can transfer those quantities to matter with which they interact.

    Electromagnetic Spectrum
    The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses all types of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from
    very short wavelengths (including gamma and X-rays) to very long wavelengths (including
    microwaves and radio waves). The spectrum is typically divided into seven regions, in order of
    decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength:

    1. Gamma rays: The shortest wavelength EM waves, typically less than 10 picometers. They are
    produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as neutron stars and
    areas around black holes.
    2. X-rays: With wavelengths ranging from about 10 picometers to 10 nanometers, X-rays are used
    in medical imaging and also in exploring the cosmos.
    3. Ultraviolet (UV) light: Ranging from 10 nm to about 400 nm, UV rays are responsible for
    sunburns but are also used in sterilization and fluorescence.
    4. Visible light: This narrow band of the spectrum (about 400 to 700 nm) includes all the colors
    that the human eye can perceive.
    5. Infrared (IR) radiation: Occupying wavelengths from 700 nm to 1 mm, IR is emitted by all
    objects at room
