Waves
s =f x
Wavelength 1 x 10-1 m to
1 x 10 - 4 m (1 m to 0.001
m)
Used in medicine,
industry and astronomy
Highest energy
① Gamma waves get their high energy from their extremely short wavelengths
(or extremely fast frequency)
① ROY G BIV stands for “red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
They are the colors of the visible light in order of longest wavelength to
shortest wavelength.
① Yellow is more energetic than red because it has a shorter wavelength (or
larger frequency)
① Microwaves are more dangerous than radio waves because they have a higher
frequency and carry more energy.
