More specifically, what is the difference between the production (at the atomic
level) of microwaves, visible light, infrared energy and ultraviolet light?  I
understand that K-shell emission and Bremmstrahlung radiation (for x-rays);
spin-flip transition for radio; and radioactive decay for gamma ray production.

Thank you!
