# Different types of wave

The 1D wavespaces offer a choice of different wave types:

Wave type | Min. Wavelength | Max. Wavelength | Speed (m/s) | Width of wavespace
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Sound | 0.086 m | 8.6 m | 344 | 1 m
Water | 0.02 m | 0.2 m | 0.42 | 0.1 m
String | 0.05 m | 5 m | 2.0 | 1 m
Radio | 1 m | 100 m | 3 x 108 | 10 m
Microwaves | 10-5 m | 10 -3 m | 3 x 108 | 0.1 nm
Infrared | 2.5 μm | 25 μm | 3 x 108 | 10 μm
Light | 380 nm | 780 nm | 3 x 108 | 1 μm
Ultraviolet | 5 nm | 370 nm | 3 x 108 | 0.1 μm
X-rays | 10-11 m | 10-9 m | 3 x 108 | 0.1 nm
Gamma rays | 10-14 m | 10-12 m | 3 x 108 | 0.1 pm

Water waves cannot be generated in triangular or square wave forms.
