Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

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. ;)
