4.3 Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum


 * 4.3 Wavelength** page 158

Wavelengths that are shorter than visible light carry a larger amount of energy than electromagnetic waves in the visible region. Shorter wavelengths have higher frequencies. Some examples of short wavelengths are ultraviolet waves, x rays and gamma rays.
