Waves that consist of electric and magnetic fields oscillating perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Ultraviolet Rays (UV): Electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths than visible light but longer wavelengths than X-rays.
High-energy electromagnetic waves emitted during radioactive decay or nuclear reactions.
