The electromagnetic spectrum of light arranges the light waves according to their frequency and wavelength. The radio waves have the longest wavelength and used for transmission of signals while gamma rays have
Wavelength:The wavelength of a wave refers to the shortest distance between two successive crests or troughs along the wave. A crest is the highest point of a wave, and a trough is the lowest point of a wave. The mathematical expression for the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is: ...
Up to 20m in clear water, but longest wavelengths get absorbed first Energy-Matter Interactions Water reflectance depends on: 1. Depth Visible wavebands penetrate water to different amounts, the shorter the wavelength the greater the penetration ...
