Homework Statement


I am just wondering is there any apparatus available to produce EM waves of arbitrary wavelength and intensities? If not, how I can produce an EM wave of my desired wavelength in the laboratory?

I completely have no idea :(

Yes, the light switch. :biggrin:

Seriously though. The spectrum that you get is going to be based on the apparatus that you're using. You're not going to get X-rays from a light bulb and you're not going to get visible light from a radio transmitter. There isn't a single apparatus that will give you every possible EM wavelength.
