What do wavelengths have to do with temperature?
First, a basic understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum: What is it? It is a classification of all wavelengths according to their “size”. Energy and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. Longer wavelengths are less energetic than shorter wavelengths and vice versa. From longest to shortest you have the following: Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet), Ultraviolet, X-Ray, and Gamma Ray. Ultraviolet to Gamma are considered to be ionizing radiation, which is another way of saying BIOHAZARDOUS WAVELENGTHS! Some folks may lump microwaves in with radio waves, or they’ll lump indigo and violet together as just violet. The wavelengths are the same, just the names include more of the spectrum. So if your friend says her favorite color is blue, then you’ll know she really likes a high-frequency green.
