Electromagnetic Spectrum

This page has been created and claimed by Clayton Roberts (Croberts65)

The electromagnetic spectrum describes all different frequencies of light that can be observed, and is most commonly associated with the visible chromatic colors.

The Main Idea

The frequency in Hertz (Hz) of electromagnetic waves can be related to the energy and color (if applicable) of the type of electromagnetic radiation. This can be used in chemistry for ionization, among other fields of science where the material and relative temperature can be related.
