Electromagentic Spectrum - Coggle Diagram
Electromagentic Spectrum
Electromagentic Spectrum: It is the entire range of wavelengths or frequencies of electromagnetic radiation extending from gamma rays to the longest radio waves and including visible light.
Examples and function: It strats from the lowest to the highest frequency (longest to shortest wavelength), includes all radio waves (e.g., commercial radio and television, microwaves, radar)

Wavelength:
Wave is a disturbance in which there is a transfer of energy from place to place. Also is the the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
Examples and function: Its variable quantity that mathematically describes the wave characteristics of a particle. The value of the wave function of a particle at a given point of space and time is related to the likelihood of the particle's being there at the time.
-
Frequency: Its the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave. Also we can said that its the number of waves that pass a fixed point in unit time.
Examples and function: The rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.

-
Amplitude: The maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
Examples and function: The amplitude of a function is the amount by which the graph of the function travels above and below its midline. When graphing a sine function, the value of the amplitude is equivalent to the value of the coefficient of the sine.
