Who is Aufbau?

400

This scientist developed a constant that used for all forms of electromagnetic radiation. 

Who is Planck?

Electromagnetic Spectrum and waves

100

The electromagnetic spectrum is arranged by decreasing ________. 

What is wavelength?

200

This is the distance from the mid point to the top of the wave. 

What is the amplitude?

300

Visible light is arranged in this order because ______.

Rainbow is visible in this pattern because of the wavelengths and frequencies of each color. Red has a longer wavelength than violet, and violet has a higher frequency than red. 

400

This is the measure of distance between two troughs or two crests in a wave.

What is wavelength?

500

List the order of the electromagnetic spectrum in decreasing wavelength and list an example of 2 of the categories. 

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, UV, Xrays, Gamma Rays
