According to my table (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/ems1.html)
UV is only considered to be wavelengths between 10nm and 400nm, and IR is wavelengths from 750nm to 1mm (1,000,000nm) So, your table does not include x- and gamma- rays, nor the RF frequencies. --- Horace Heffner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Jan 16, 2006, at 6:16 AM, Merlyn wrote: > > > Doesn't have to total to 100% > > IR, Visible, and UV do not cover the entire EM > > spectrum, the sun puts out energy over a very > broad > > range of frequencies. > >> > > > > Sure it does.
