This document is a chart of the electromagnetic spectrum showing the wavelength ranges and frequencies of different types of electromagnetic radiation, including gamma rays, x-rays, radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, and more. It also indicates regions of high and low atmospheric transmittance and labels the infrared subregions of near-infrared, shortwave infrared, midwave infrared, and longwave infrared.
