Bottom line: the electromagnetic spectrum describes all the wavelengths of light â both seen and unseen. The shorter the wavelength, the more energetic the light. By using telescopes sensitive to different wavelength ranges of the spectrum, astronomers get a glimpse into a wide variety of objects and phenomena in the universe.
