What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum?
• radio waves
• cell phone waves
• microwaves
• radar waves
• infrared waves
• visible light waves
• ultraviolet waves
• x-ray waves
• gamma waves
• s=f x l
Wavelength 1 x 10-1 m to 1 x
10 - 4 m (1 m to 0.001 m)
① Gamma waves get their high energy from their extremely short wavelengths (or
extremely fast frequency)
① ROY G BIV stands for “red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. They
are the colors of the visible light in order of longest wavelength to shortest
wavelength.
① Yellow is more energetic than red because it has a shorter wavelength (or larger
frequency)
① Microwaves are more dangerous than radio waves because they have a higher
frequency and carry more energy.
