Electromagnetic waves longer than Infra red are micro-waves (in your micro-wave oven) and radio waves. Ultra Violet light is also a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic waves shorter than UV light include X-rays and gamma rays. When light energy (visible or invisible) falls onto an object, it can do one of three things.
