Physics... Just for fun

I hope you guys know that there's a fair bit of homework. To sum it up, there's English Speech Writing, Physics EM Waves and Sound worksheets, Chemistry and E math Files. 

Today's focus is on EM waves. I'll show you my two cents worth on how to memorise the EM Wave Spectrum, from highest frequency to lowest frequency.

As you know, the order from highest frequency to lowest frequency is Gamma, X-ray, Ultraviolet, Light, Infra-red, Microwaves and Radio Waves.

So by replacing the first letter of each type of wave, mnemonics can be used to make memorisation easy. Ok it's an old method i know, but it's effective as long as it's something funny/ridiculous that your brain can easily remember.

G(Insert name that  begins with G here)'s Xylophone Understands Lovely Irish Music Rhapsodies.

And just for your information the way that I remember the colour spectrum is:

ROYGBIV

ROY  Goes Bowling In Vietnam.

Hope it helps a bit for you guys. I use mnemonics a lot (Ivan Ng too! Go ask him for Social Studies Mnemonics)
