EMF stands for Electro-Magnetic Field. An electromagnetic field is composed of two related vector fields: the electric field (male) and the magnetic field (female). When referred to as the electromagnetic field, the field is imagined to encompass all of space; typically an electromagnetic field is considered to be limited to a local area around an object in space. We are Electro-Magnetic Field, Multidimensional Beings of Light. See [[CW Male]] and [[CCW Female]]. | EMF stands for Electro-Magnetic Field.

==Frequency Waves== | |||
[[Frequency]] is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. For cyclical processes, such as rotation, oscillations, or waves, frequency is defined as a number of cycles per unit time. | |||
Visible light is an electromagnetic wave, consisting of oscillating electric and magnetic fields traveling through space. The frequency of the wave determines its color: 4×1014 Hz is red light, 8×1014 Hz is violet light, and between these (in the range 4-8×1014 Hz) are all the other colors of the rainbow. An [[EMF]] electromagnetic wave can have a frequency less than 4×1014 Hz, but it will be invisible to the human eye; such waves are called infrared (IR) radiation. At even lower frequency, the wave is called a microwave, and at still lower frequencies it is called a radio wave. Likewise, an electromagnetic wave can have a frequency higher than 8×1014 Hz, but it will be invisible to the human eye; such waves are called ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Even higher-frequency waves are called X-rays, and higher still are gamma rays. | |||
All of these waves, from the lowest-frequency radio waves to the highest-frequency gamma rays, are fundamentally the same, and they are all called electromagnetic radiation. They all travel through a vacuum at the same speed (the speed of light), giving them wavelengths inversely proportional to their frequencies.<ref>[ | |||
