Visible light
________ is only a small part of the spectrum.
channel of an FM radio station
The ________ is the frequency, measured in megahertz (MHz), at which it broadcasts.
units of meters
The term* Wavelength* refers to being measured in ________ or, for extremely small wavelengths, nanometers (nm, 109 m), picometers (pm, 1012 m) or angstroms, (1010 m), a non- SI unit.
frequency of electromagnetic radiation
The value represents the ________.
electromagnetic radiation waves
All ________ move at the same speed in a vacuum, but they differ in frequency and, hence, wavelength.
high frequency
Because the product of ν and λ is a constant, they have an inverse relationship- radiation with a(n) ________ has a short wavelength, and radiation with a low frequency has a long wavelength: ν↑λ↓ and ν↓λ↑.
