How Can I Remember the Electromagnetic Spectrum Order?

[cremedelacreme]

Does anyone have a good mnemonic to remember

Electromagnetic Spectrum

either according to increasing wavelength or frequency?

Thanks!

Found elsewhere:
Reading music is very unsatisfactory for xylophones and glockenspiels
(Radio, Microwave, Infrared, Visable, Ultraviolet, Xrays, Gammarays)
But I recommend creating your own as focussing in an original way will help you recall the mnemonic. Here's a Quickstart to help you do that:

I don't like that one since "x and g" are just as arbitrary as the original and thus not mnemonic.

Here's an idea: base it on a sequence of events, that would occur in a natural order based on a scenario.

Here's an incomplete start: "I was listening to the radio one night, and an add for <whatever silly thing> made me hungry! So I went to the kitchen and popped some frozen <whatever> into the Microwave to make a snack. Then the snack became hot (think IR == heat) and burned my hand. I was already sore from sunburn (UV) so I was in pretty poor shape ... had to go to the emergency room to get an X-ray...
