    By their wavelength/frequency

    Explanation:

    Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, that vibrate one perpendicular to each other, and that vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (for this reason, these waves are called transverse waves).

    Electromagnetic waves are also the only type of waves that don't need a medium to propagate, so they can travel through a vacuum as well.

    Electromagnetic waves have different properties depending on their wavelength/frequency, and they are classified into 7 different types. From shortest to longest wavelength:

    Gamma rays

    X-rays

    Ultraviolet

    Visible light

    Infrared

    Microwaves

    Radio waves

    All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the 'visible light' part of the spectrum.
