Peak Trough Amplitude Wavelength ( ) (in meters) Frequency measured in Hertz: (Hz): cycles per second
4
Speed of a wave = wavelength * frequency v= f Increased frequency has increased energy for Electromagnetic waves: ◦ Speed = 3.0x10 8 m/s(speed of light) ◦ c = 3.0x10 8 m/s

Continuous Colour Spectrum A line spectrum consists of distinct bright lines appearing on a dark background that occur in different parts of the visible spectrum.
10
An atom excited by addition of energy (heat) will send off electron(s) from its orbital. As the electron returns, it emits electromagnetic waves, and can be seen as coloured light. P.143
