Light Flashcards
Transparent
Light travels through a medium, atoms absurd and remit at the same frequency.
Opaque
All light absorbed not remitted.
Where is light slowed down
Slightly in gas, more in water and solids
How is the disturbance in a light wave
Perpendicular
What is the light spectrum
Radio waves to microwaves to infrared waves to visible light to ultra violet to x ray to gamma rays
What is true about all transverse waves?
Disturbance is perpendicular to velocity
What waves travel at a speed of 3x 10^8
Microwaves
Does ultra violet have a higher frequency then light
Yes
Which waves travel fastest
Electromagnetic
Where is the angle of incidence bigger or reflection
In air then water then glass
What direction is a force
Toward the middle
What dirrection is the velocity
Perpendicular to the force
Greater force= _____velocoty
Greater
What kind of wave is light?
Electromagnetic wave and transverse wave
