Muddiest Point!

             So I have had a couple muddiest points thus far... Electromagnetic radiation is really confusing. I cant really grasp the understanding of the equations but i found information on Wikipedia that can provide me assistance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation).
        Also I cant figure out how you are supposed to  match a compound to a given mass spectrum. With more reading i have found out that you have to  look at each of the wavelengths and the peaks to determine which compound is which.
        I am not 100 percent sure about the base points and highest points of individual mass spectra. I found a great website that explains this little by little. (http://www.chemguide.co.uk/analysis/masspec/fragment.html#top)
I think with more studying and reading i will be prepared for this test hopefully.
