electromagnetic spectrum midterm

[Tala Ayoub 1H]

Does anyone know if we will be given the electromagnetic spectrum during the midterm if asked about a particular spectrum of light and their frequency/wavelength, or do we need to memorize the wavelength/frequencies of every spectrum (visible light, infrared etc....)

I believe that if you know the Balmer (visible light, n1= 2) and Lyman series (ultraviolet light, n1=1), the fact that visible light ranges from 700 to 400 nm, and the order of the waves of the spectrum (RMHIVUXG), you will be fine. I think memorizing the actual wavelengths could be helpful, but not necessary.

***Sorry about that, I don't know how H fits into the electromagnetic spectrum! :)

Radio, Micro, Infrared, Visible, Ultraviolet, Xray, Gamma

Hello,

I think you will have to memorize the order of frequency and wavelengths (like x10 to the power of...)
