Explanation:

When dealing with the Electromagnetic Spectrum, one should remember the acronym ROYGBIV. This will apply to visible spectrum but the non-visible spectra can de logically deduced from the sequence. That is ...

   R-Red > O-Orange > Y-Yellow > G-Green > B-Blue > I-Indigo > V-Violet

In relation to the three wave properties; wavelength (λ), frequency (ν) & energy (ΔE) ...

Wavelengths => Long λ                                                                       Short λ

Frequency     => Low  ν                                                                       High ν

Energy           => Low  ΔE                                                                    High ΔE  

Note that all 'L's' are on the 'Left'

On Left => Long wavelengths, Low frequency & Low energy; the 'opposites' are on 'the other end of the list'.

Therefore for other wavelengths outside the visible spectrum set up as follows, start with visible spectrum in the middle and insert the invisible spectra of interest.

                          Long λ <= Visible (R.0.Y.G.B.I.V.) => Short λ

 λ (cm):    10¹            10⁻²          10⁻³  (10⁻⁵- 10⁻⁶)    10⁻⁷       10⁻⁹    (10⁻¹¹ - 10⁻¹³)            

             [radio > microwave > IR   >   visible   >  UV  >  X-Rays > Gamma]

Hope this helps :-)

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
