Electromagnetic Spectrum mind maps

Using electromagnetic spectrum mind maps

Start with Electromagnetic radiation for a map that connects the visible spectrum with the separation of colours by a prism. Follow its branches, then close the map and see which connections you can recall.

For a broader look at waves and radiation, try Nat 5 Physics Waves and Radiation. It brings the spectrum together with waves, light and nuclear radiation. You could use its branches to organise a list of topics to revisit.

Move from an overview to detail

Choose a focused map when you want to examine one part of the spectrum. X-rays covers properties including frequency and wavelength, while Microwaves offers another topic to explore. Benefits and risks includes the absorption and transmission of radiation by the atmosphere.

After reading a map, note what you remember without looking. If you want to check your recall in a different way, switch to a quiz on the unit page. Pick a map and follow its branches at your own pace.
