"Electromagnetic radiation refers to the waves or quanta of the electromagnetic field as they propagate through space. Electromagnetic radiation exhibits particle-wave duality, referred to as both waves or photons. The speed of electromagnetic waves is invariant in a vacuum, being ~3x10⁸m/s and represented by the symbol, c, otherwise known as the speed of light. The types of electromagnetic radiation vary from one another in their wavelength and hence also in energy and frequency. The approximate relationship between the frequency, wavelength and energy is given by"
