acronym for physics

Electromagnetic Spectrum

The range of all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, sorted from low frequency and energy to high frequency and energy.

Wavelength

The distance between successive crests of a wave, inversely related to frequency and energy.

Frequency and Energy

As frequency increases, energy increases and wavelength decreases; the opposite is true for low frequency.

Approximate Wavelength of Visible Light Spectrum

Ranges from about 400 nm (Violet) to 700 nm (Red), with Violet being the smallest wavelength and Red the largest.

Color with Largest Wavelength in Visible Spectrum

Red has the largest wavelength approximately 700 nm.

Color with Smallest Wavelength in Visible Spectrum

Violet has the smallest wavelength approximately 400 nm.
