The terminology of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum is given in the text. Use the formula $E = hv$ (for energy of a quantum of radiation: photon) and obtain the photon energy in units of $eV$ for different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. In what way are the different scales of photon energies that you obtain related to the sources of electromagnetic radiation?
