Are the different types of electromagnetic radiation just based on arbitrary divisions or is there specific properties each type has within their respective wavelength range?
In: Physics
Electromagnetic radiation vary in wavelenght/frequency. These waves have different properties depending on their wavelenght, but exactly how we divided them into category is mostly arbitrary. Technically speaking there is some objective aspect that shaped how we divided them, like visible light is what human can see, but even that have some variation in it depending on the person.
