Hi There,
Revising for my Physics A-Levels, and I cannot remember the order of the various types of waves from longest to shortest. It goes:
Radio
Microwaves
Infared
Visible
Ultraviolet
X-Rays
Gamma
If anyone can think of an amusing acrostic to remember RMIVUXG, it would be appreciated!
Cheers

I remembered A-level physics being harder than this though. Is this for your AS?

Radio > Microwave > TV Remote > Lightbulb > UV Lamp > X-Ray Machine > Gamma Ray Gun
Place them in a 'room' or on a 'shelf' in your mind. Visualise and look around the room or along the shelf in order to remember them.
