Study Notes

Electromagnetic Waves

James Clerk Maxwell described the wave-like nature of light and predicted the existence of electromagnetic waves.
Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
The unit of wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum is nanometers (nm).
The properties of electromagnetic waves include speed, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude.
The radio wave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the longest wavelength.
The relationship between the wavelength and frequency of an electromagnetic wave is inversely proportional: **higher frequency, shorter wavelength, and vice versa. **
The characteristics of the electromagnetic spectrum include wavelength, frequency, and energy.
The relationship between the energy of an electromagnetic wave and its wavelength is inversely proportional: higher energy, shorter wavelength, and vice versa.
