The different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum have varying wavelengths and frequencies, which determine their properties and behaviors. For example, visible light has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies compared to radio waves, resulting in differences in how they interact with matter and are detected by instruments. Additionally, each part of the spectrum is used for different applications ranging from communication (radio waves) to medical imaging (X-rays).

Light is made up of different colors that are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, and when white light is separated, it can be seen as a spectrum of colors ranging from red to violet.
The UV region is called "ultraviolet" because it has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light, which is perceived as violet in the spectrum. "Ultra" means beyond, so ultraviolet implies light that is beyond violet in terms of wavelength and frequency.
Most of the light emitted by humans is in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Each part of the spectrum has unique properties, such as frequency, energy, and interaction with matter. Different parts of the spectrum are used for various purposes, from communication (radio waves) to medical imaging (X-rays).
When light is split up into a spectrum and begins with "d", it likely refers to the yellow part of the visible spectrum. This is because light is split into different colors based on their wavelengths, with yellow falling towards the middle of the spectrum between green and orange.
