Anatomy and Physiology I
Electromagnetic radiation refers to the waves of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying energy as photons. It encompasses a broad spectrum of waves, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of electromagnetic radiation varies in wavelength and frequency, which determines its properties and applications, particularly in medical imaging techniques.
