5.1 The Nature Of EMR Flashcards
1
Q
EMR Theory
A
Electromagnetic radiation is cause by accelerating charges
The greater the acceleration the higher the energy and frequency of EMR
EMR are transverse waves
EMR has a changing electric field component and a changing magnetic field component
The changing electric field generates a changing magnetic field perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling
2
Q
Order of EMR
A
Radio microwave infrared visible in X-rays gamma-rays
