Concepts Covered - 1

Speed of electromagnetic radiation and EM radiation

EM radiation -

According to electromagnetic wave theory, energy is emitted continuously from a source in the form of radiations (or waves), known as electromagnetic radiation.

The relation between frequency, wavelength, and wavenumber:

Frequency ∝ 1/wavelength            wavenumber ∝ 1/wavelength

Radio wave -\mathrm{3\times 10^{14}\ to\ 3 \times 10^{7} A^o} 

Microwave - \mathrm{3\times 10^{9}\ to\ 3 \times 10^{6} A^o}

Infrared - \mathrm{6\times 6^{6}\ to\ 7600 \ A^o}

Ultraviolet - \mathrm{3800\ to\ 150\ A^o}

X-rays - \mathrm{150\ to\ 0.1\ A^o}

Gamma rays - \mathrm{0.1\ to\ 0.01 \ A^o}

 

Speed of electromagnetic radiation - 

c= \nu \lambda

where the frequency is (\nu, pronounced as nu), the wavelength is (λ) and velocity of light is (c)
