    If I wished to produce every frequency of electromagnetic radiation from extra low frequency waves through visible light up to gamma rays, what is the minimum amount of equipment I would need?

    Which wave category do light waves belong to; electric waves, magnetic waves, electromagnetic waves or electrostatic waves?

    Visible light from outer space can be "red-shifted," indicating the source object is moving away from the Earth-bound observer. Can other frequencies of electro-magnetic radiation be "shifted" in the same manner. And if so, is it detectable?
