exam time baby Flashcards
high 2 low frequency
gamma (16-12), x ray(10), UV(8) ,light, infared(6-4), microwave 2), radiowaves tv longwave etc (1-8) all number to the power of 10
properties of electromagnetic waves
- waves originate from accelrating charges
- they transfer energy from one point to another
3.does no oscillate crets and troughs where field strongest
4.waves can travel through vaccum (3x10^8)
radio waves used for
fm radio or tv
microwaves used for
heating food and satellite comms
infared (below red) used for
nigth vision equipment
visible light
can detect with eyes made up of rainbow
ultraviolet
comes from sun
x rays used for
casting shadows on x ray film and scanning bags security
gamma rays
emitted during nuculear reactions can penetrate tissue
two types of waves
mech and electromagnetic
pulse
single disturbance in a medium.
1khz
1000 hz
1mhz
1,000,000 hz
v=fh and other nb is?
v= h divided by 1 divided by period
longitudal wave
a series of consecutive compressions and rarefractions move parallel to direction of propogation
particle movment of longitudal wave
vibrate backwards and forwards parral to prop
wave speed
speed at which compressions and rarefracrions move
speed of sound waves depends on
how closely packed togeter particles in the medium are (energy can transfer from one particle to the next)
