Electromagnetic waves are also known as \(\boxed{\text{light waves}}\).
The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of \(\boxed{\text{different regions based on wavelength and frequency}}\).
These regions are: \(\boxed{\text{radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays}}\).
Radio waves have \(\boxed{\text{long wavelengths}}\) and \(\boxed{\text{low frequencies}}\).
Gamma waves have \(\boxed{\text{short wavelengths}}\) and \(\boxed{\text{high frequencies}}\).
Visible light makes up a \(\boxed{\text{small portion}}\) of the electromagnetic spectrum.
A prism \(\boxed{\text{disperses light into its constituent colors}}\).
\(\boxed{\text{Red}}\) has the longest wavelength in the visible range.
\(\boxed{\text{Violet}}\) has the shortest wavelength in the visible range.
When all wavelengths of the visible spectrum hit your eye at the same time, you see \(\boxed{\text{white light}}\).
When atoms absorb energy, electrons move \(\boxed{\text{to higher energy levels}}\) away from the nucleus and are called excited electrons.
Electrons instantly move back to their original spots. When they do, light is \(\boxed{\text{emitted}}\).
Because every element has a unique arrangement of \(\boxed{\text{electrons}}\), each element gives off a different wavelength of light.
