Spectrum
• EM spectrum consists of
various types of waves.
• The higher the
Electromagn frequency, the shorter
etic the wavelength.
Spectrum • High energy EM waves
have high frequency
and short wavelengths
Frequency-number of
wavelengths that pass
a given point in 1 s.
Wavelength-

EM with matter in
