![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() Visible light wavelengths are usually expressed in nanometers (nm), and give photon energies that are given in electronvolts (eV) or kJ/mol. Infrared radiation is measured in microns, and microwave radiation in cm. Radio waves are even longer, while ultraviolet wavelengths are even shorter than those of visible light. | ![]() | ||||||
