ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES The figure of the heavenly body
observed by making use of various electromagnetic waves, such as the
radio waves ore X-rays.
4120 SCALE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
WAVES A graphic panel showing electromagnetic waves in
order of wavelength. Learn how the names and properties f
electromagnetic waves differ according to their wavelengths.
4130 LIGHT SPECTRUM Observe the
spectrum of various types of lamps and spectrum tubes. The spectrum
is a characteristic substance.
