Uses and Applications
The frequency of oscillations gives the magnitude of radiant energy. The higher the frequency, the higher the energy. For example, ultraviolet radiation has higher energy in the electromagnetic spectrum than infrared. According to wave-particle duality, electromagnetic radiation can also be considered particles. These particles are called photons and transmit energy in packets or quanta.
