This very famous scientist thought light was made of particles and called his view The Corpuscular Hypothesis
Isaac Newton
This is the longest wave in the spectrum.
Radio Waves
This is the shortest wave in the spectrum.
Gamma Rays
This wave is sensed as heat.
Infrared
This wave can penetrate through soft tissue but not dense ones (like bones or teeth)
X-rays
This wave has so much energy it would require 6 feet of concrete or 6 inches of lead to block it.
Gamma Rays
This wave causes your body to produce vitamin D.
Ultraviolet
This wave matches the natural frequency of water molecules
Microwave
God designed your eyes to respond to this type of wave.
Visible light
This wave has the lowest amount of penetrating energy.
Radio waves
These types of wave can cause cancer if you are exposed to certain doses.
