Electromagnetic spectrum

c = λ f

c = speed of light = electromagnetic wave velocity = 3 * 10^8 m/sec

Therefore, the longer the wavelength, the higher the frequency.


 

From high frequency (low wavelength) to low frequency (high wavelength)

  1. gamma-rays
  2. x-rays
  3. light
    • ultraviolet
    • visible light
    • infra-red
    • thermal IR
  4. microwaves
  5. radio
