Electromagnetic spectrum
The electromagnetic spectrum covers a wide range of wavelengths and Photon
energies. It ranges from Gamma Rays
at one end (High Frequency, High Energy and Low Wave Length) to radio waves at the other (Low Frequency, Low Energy and Long Wave Length).For Ionising Radiation
protection purposes we are concerned with X-Rays
and Gamma Rays.
