Question
Explain frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum.
✓
Answer
Electromagnetic spectrum : Due to same characteristics of radio waves, micro waves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, gamma rays etc. as of electromagnetic waves, these all are electromagnetic waves. The only difference is their wavelengths are different. It is clear that extension of wavelengths of electromagnetic waves is very wide, so these waves can be kept in a sequence depending on wavelength and it is known as electromagnetic spectrum.
