ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
The band of electromagnetic radiation with components that are separated into their relative wave lengths. The portion of the spectrum that the human eye can detect is called visible light, between the longer infrared waves and the shorter ultraviolet waves. The various types of energy comprising the spectrum are (from longest to shortest) radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays.

Electromagnetic spectrum
The entire range of electromagnetic radiation . It ranges from the longest wavelength radiation, radio waves, through microwaves , infrared, visible light, ultravolet, x-rays and finally to the shortest wavelength radiation, gamma rays. Although all the forms of electromagnetic radiation propagate at the speed of light , the shorter wavelength radiations carry more energy per photon than the longer wavelength radiations.

electromagnetic spectrum
The range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation from zero to infinity. Note: The electromagnetic spectrum was, by custom and practice, formerly divided into 26 alphabetically designated bands. This usage still prevails to some degree. However, the ITU formally recognizes 12 bands, from 30 Hz to 3000 GHz. New bands, from 3 THz to 3000 THz, are under active consideration for recognition. Refer to the figure below.
