The spectrum of electromagnetic waves ranges from low-frequency radio waves to high-frequency gamma …
(credit: © Merriam-Webster Inc.)
Total range of frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. The spectrum ranges from waves of long wavelength (low frequency) to those of short wavelength (high frequency); it comprises, in order of increasing frequency (or decreasing wavelength): very-low-frequency to ultrahigh-frequency radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. In a vacuum, all waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel at the same speed: 299,792,458 m/sec (186,282 mi/sec).


electromagnetic spectrum [i¦lek·trō·mag′ned·ik ′spek·trəm]
(electromagnetism)
The total range of wavelengths or frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, extending from the longest radio waves to the shortest known cosmic rays.

3, it is evident that the IR spectra of CIPP1 and CIPP2 are virtually same, whereas the difference of IR spectrum between IPP and CIPPs is noticeable.
IR spectrum of 2K PU film The IR spectrum of SAE with silicone monomer 3%, a hydroxyl value of 100 mg KON/g and the IR spectrum of 2K WBPU film were prepared from the above emulsion the Rhodocoat WT2102 with an-NCO/OH ration = 1.
Concentrating on the latest developments for efficiently cooling detectors that operate in the middle- and long-wavelength IR spectrum, practitioner Piotrowski and Rogalski (applied physics, Military U, of Technology, Warsaw) describe innovations in the cooling of many types of IR photodetectors with emphasis on HgCdTe alloy based detectors.
