Electromagnetic Spectrum Flashcards
He is a Scottish mathematician and scientist responsible for the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation.
James Clerk Maxwell
This theory says that electricity, magnetism, and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon.
Theory of Electromagnetic Radiation
These are electric and magnetic fields that are present in light. James maxwell said that the net result of these interchanging fields could propagate through spaces.
Electromagnetic Waves
This is collectively made up of Electromagnetic Waves
Electromagnetic Spectrum
This is the section of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye.
The Visible Light Spectrum
A rate at which a vibration occurs that continues a wave. Usually measured per second.
Frequency
It is the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation measured from the position of equilibrium.
Amplitude
The Unit of Frequency of change in state in a sound.
Hertz
The Highest part of a Wave
Crest
The Lowest part of a Wave
Trough
The Vertical distance between the crest and trough
Wave Height
