meter. Scientists divide these different wave-
lengths into named categories, which seem to
imply that they are different forms of energy enti-

rely. For example, rays with a wavelength as short
as a trillionth of a centimeter are known as “gamma
rays.” These transmit very high energy. Rays with
wavelengths kilometers long are known as “radio wa-
ves” and transmit very weak energy. For that reason,

while gamma rays are lethal to us, radio ways have no
effect at all as they pass through your body.
The spectrum of wavelengths is extraordinary wide.

The shortest length is 10 times smaller than the longest.

Numerically, this is expressed by the figure 1 followed by
25 zeroes. In order to better comprehend this number—
which may be written as 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000—
let’s provide some comparisons. For example, the number of

seconds that have passed during the 4 billion years of the
Earth’s existence is only 10 . If we wanted to count to 10 , day

and night and non-stop, it would take us 100 million times lon-
ger than the age of the Earth! If we tried to place 10 playing cards

on top of one another, we would find ourselves far beyond the
Milky Way and we would need to travel half the length of the ob-
servable universe.
