Chapter 7, Problem 7.3QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The types of electromagnetic radiation which starts with the radiation having the longest wavelength and ends with the radiation having the shortest wavelength should be explained using the concept of electromagnetic spectrum.

Concept Introduction:

Electromagnetic spectrum is all forms of electromagnetic radiation where the only difference in radiation types is their wavelengths and frequencies.  Electromagnetic radiation can also be characterized by the number of waves per unit length.  This is termed as wave number, $\text{ν}$.
