The full spectrum, shared vacuum speed, and uses of each band.

Know what success looks like.

  1. 01

    Identify the source of the field and distinguish field direction from force direction.

  2. 02

    Use vector superposition or flux reasoning without dropping signs or geometry.

  3. 03

    Connect the field model to force, energy, or induced e.m.f. in the mapped situation.

Build, apply, check.

3.3 Electromagnetic spectrum sits inside Waves. Build the concept first, then practise selecting a model, showing working, and checking the final result.
