Electromagnetic Flashcards
1
Q
Electromagnetic Waves
A
Have same speed, c, but cuz they widely have differing wavelengths, frequencies and photo energies you detect use them differently
2
Q
Intensity Equation
A
I = k/r²
k is intensity 1m from centre of source
r is radius from source
3
Q
Dish Antennas
A
Sat communication use dish antennas that concentrate wave into a directional beam with flat plane wave-front. So there waves lose intensity more slowly
4
Q
Visible light wavelengths
A
Has many different wave lengths from deep red (λ=740nm) to indigo blue (λ=370nm)
5
Q
Electromagnetic Spectrum
A
In reverse order:
Rabbits-Radio
Mate-Microwave
In-Infrared
Very-Visible Light
Unknown-Ultra Violet
Expensive-X-Ray
Gardens-Gamma Ray
