| description |
Electromagnetic waves are characterized by any of the three physical properties: frequency, wavelength or quantum (photon) energy. Frequency of a wave is defined as the ratio of the speed of light (in vacuum) to wavelength of the wave. The quantum energy is defined as the product of the Planck's constant and the wave frequency. The range of all possible frequencies or wavelengths or energies of an electromagnetic wave is called the electromagnetic spectrum. (reference: wikipedia)
