The graph above represents most of the named regions of the
electromagnetic spectrum. Clicking on one of the purple or red
boxes will show an example of how that wavelength of light is
used in everyday life or an example of how it is generated. Additionally,
a cartoon showing an item of similar size to the wavelength will
be displayed. The "EXPLAIN"
buttons beneath the pictures bring up alert boxes with information
about the pictures.
The center panel indicates the equivalent, quantitative representations
for that type of light in Frequency, Wavelength,
and Energy. We have also included a link to a simple converter
which will calculate frequency, wavelength, and energy when one
value is input.
The "Instructions" link
will bring you back to this page from anywhere in the EMSpectrum
Explorer and the "Return"
button at the top returns you to the "Light and Energy Tools
Homepage".
