2.3.1 Describe the electromagnetic spectrum.


  • electromagnetic radiation comes in different forms of different energy
  • all electromagnetic waves have the same speed but we can tell them apart by their wave lengths 
  • different colors of visible light also have different wavelengths 
  • frequency - number of waves which pass a particular point in one second
  • the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency 
  • speed = frequency x wavelength
