The Electromagnetic Spectrum

The Electromagnetic Spectrum

1. The energy electromagnetic waves transfer depends on the wavelength of the waves.

   • 1.Radio Waves 2. Microwaves 3. Infrared radiation 4. Light waves 5. Ultra violet waves 6. X rays and gamma radiation

2. Long radio waves have waves as long as 10km

3. X rays and Gamma waves have wavelengths as short as a millionth of a millionth of a millimetre.

4. All electromagnetic waves travel at a speed of 300 million m/s through space or in a vacuum

5. V = F X LAMDA

6. The shorter the wavelength of the waves the higher their frequency is
