It details the visible light segment (400 nm to 700 nm) and the various types of radiation, including Radio, Microwave, Infrared, Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma Rays. It notes that only specific wavelengths penetrate Earth’s atmosphere and provides a mnemonic for remembering the order of the EMS.

In longitudinal waves, particles of the medium vibrate back and forth parallel to the direction that the waves travel. Q: If there were no air particles to carry the vibrations away from the guitar string, how would sound reach the ear? That’s because the sound couldn’t travel away from the clock without air particles to pass the sound energy along.

It highlights the use of phasors in simplifying Maxwell's equations and deriving the Helmholtz wave equation. The relationship between phasor and time-domain expressions, governed by Faraday's law, is discussed alongside various polarization states, including linear and circular polarizations, and their representations.

For water waves, the disturbance is in the surface of the water, perhaps created by a rock thrown into a pond or by a swimmer splashing the surface repeatedly. For sound waves, the disturbance is a change in air pressure, perhaps created by the oscillating cone inside a speaker. For earthquakes, there are several types of disturbances, including disturbance of Earth’s surface and pressure under the surface.

Red light travels the fastest through the prism and is deflected the least, Blue light travels the slowest and is affected more by passing through the prism.
