EM WAVES
Monday, 18 August 2008
Today's focus is on EM waves , how to memorise the EM Wave Spectrum, from highest frequency to lowest frequency.
As you know, the order from highest frequency to lowest frequency is Gamma, X-ray, Ultraviolet, (Visible) Light, Infra-red, Microwaves and Radio Waves.
So by replacing the first letter of each type of wave, mnemonics can be used to make memorisation easy. Ok it's an old method i know, but it's effective as long as it's something funny/ridiculous that your brain can easily remember.

And just for your information the way that to remember the colour spectrum is:
