Spectrum

Page 3: It’s Just a Phase

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

It is the range of wavelengths or frequencies over which electromagnetic

radiation extends.

Page 4: It’s Just a Phase

Term - WavelengthThe length of one wave.

Page 5: It’s Just a Phase

The wavelength determines the type of electromagnetic

energy.
