- 1Transverse wavesElectromagnetic waves are transverse
- 2Radio wavesLong wavelength with low frequency
- 3MicrowavesCan be absorbed and cause hearing of cells
- 4Infra RedMostly reflected or absorbed by the skin
- 5Visible LightMedium wavelength and frequency
- 6Ultra VioletAlso absorbed by the skin, has a higher frequency so potentially more dangerous
