Light and Electromagnetic Spectrum

Light and Electromagnetic Spectrum

Frequency – speed peak of a wave going through the point
Energy – how many electron volts, big range from 107 – 10-9
Wavelength – distance between the peaks of a wave
Energy – of the electromagnetic wave.

From the electromagnetic spectrum we can only see a small fragment. The longest are radio waves, then infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet, X rays, and Gamma rays.
