Excellent, I never knew you could spot the wavelengths doing that.  Although I did know some random facts beforehand which surprised me:

1) EM spectrum all travel at "c".
2) v = f (greek symbol for wavelength...lambda?...can't draw it)
3) c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

And to think I almost failed high school physics. ;)

I hate it when all the chesse on the outside rims are melted and the centre cheese and still solid then when I keep heating it to melt the centre the outer cheese gets burnt. :-\
