Electromagnetic waves are a form of energy that consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. They vary in wavelength and frequency, and they span a wide spectrum known as the electromagnetic spectrum. Here is a list of electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelengths, starting from the shortest wavelength to the longest:

  1. Gamma rays
  2. X-rays
  3. Ultraviolet (UV) rays
  4. Visible light
  5. Infrared (IR) radiation
  6. Microwaves
  7. Radio waves

Please note that this list represents a general ordering, but there can be some overlap or variation in the categorization of certain wavelengths depending on different sources and contexts.
