How are these types of radiation similar? how do they differ?What are 7 different forms of light or electromagnetic radiation?
There is only one EM radiation, but it can have different frequencies/wavelengths.
It can be (arbitrarily) divided into various bands. How that division is made, varies from authority to authority. The one in the link divides it up several ways. One is into 19 bands, from ELF (Extra low frequency) to Y (Gamma).
Another division is into:
Radio frequency
Microwaves
Infrared radiation
Visible radiation (light)
Ultraviolet light
X-rays
Gamma rays
But this skips THz radiation, and the very low frequency bands.
