Another thing that has confused the situation is the difference of how frequency is represented as one goes to higher and higher frequencies in the EM spectrum it uses Hertz up to microwave/millimeterwave frequencies; but then changes to 'wave number' when it gets into optical frequencies maybe this will help:
Name Wavelength Frequency (Hz) Photon Energy (eV) Gamma ray less than 0.01nm >10 EHZ 100 keV - 300+ GeV X-Ray 0.01 nm to 10 nm 30 EHz - 30 PHZ 120 eV - 120 keV Ultraviolet 10 nm - 390 nm 30 PHZ - 790 THz 3 eV - 124 eV Visible 390 nm - 750 nm 790 THz - 405 THz 1.7 eV - 3.3 eV Infrared 750 nm - 1 mm 405 THz - 300 GHz 1.24 meV - 1.7 eV Microwave 1 mm - 1 meter 300 GHz - 300 MHz 1.24 µeV - 1.24meV Radio 1 m - 100,000km 300 GHz - 3 Hz 12.4 feV - 1.24meV From: Terry Blanton [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 6:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:FYI: its all about resonances... it's finally getting into their think collective theoretical skulls!

Just a wee bit of energy at the right frequency and timing (phase) Indeed. So, look at what frequency 350 deg Celsius triggers in the H2 atom.
