{{Main|Electromagnetic waves}}

A changing electromagnetic field propagates away from its origin in the form of a [[wave]]. These waves travel in vacuum at the [[speed of light]] and exist in a wide [[electromagnetic spectrum|spectrum]] of [[wavelength]]s. Examples of the dynamic fields of [[electromagnetic radiation]] (in order of increasing frequency): [[radio wave]]s, [[microwave]]s, [[light]] ([[infrared]], [[visible light]] and [[ultraviolet]]), [[x-ray]]s and [[gamma rays]]. In the field of [[particle physics]] this electromagnetic radiation is the manifestation of the [[electromagnetic interaction]] between charged particles.
