EM Spectrum

Cards (6)

  • The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of radiations
  • Radio waves have the longest wavelength but the lowest frequency and energy
  • Gamma has the highest frequency and energy but the shortest wavelength
  • The order of the EM Spectrum from longest to shortest wavelength is: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays
  • All parts of the EM Spectrum are transverse waves
  • The speed of all EM waves is 3x10^8 m/s
