​Properties of Light

Electromagnetic Radiation​ is a form of energy that exhibits wave-like behavior as it travels through space.

​

​The wave consists of electric and magnetic fields that vibrate and create waves.

​Electromagnetic Radiation

Gamma Rays, X-rays, Ultraviolet, Visible Light, Infrared, ​Microwaves, and Radio Waves are all types of EMR.

​ROYGBIV

​Represents red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet and is the visible spectrum. Red waves have the lowest energy, the longest wavelength, and lowest frequency. Violet waves have the highest energy, shortest wavelength, and highest frequency.

​Properties of Waves

​Speed of Light

• ​Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.

• ​Frequency and energy are directly proportional

• ​How are wavelength and energy related?
