SCIENCE EXAM Flashcards
TRANSVERSE WAVES COMPOSED OF TWO OSCILLITING WAVE FIELDS THAT VIBRATE PERPENDICULAR TO EACH OTHER
EM WAVE THEORY
WHO DEVELOPED THE EM WAVE THEORY?
JAMES MAXWELL
FATHER OF EM INDUCTION
MICHAEL FARADAY
HE DISCOVERED THAT ELECTRIC CURRENT CAN CREATE A MAGNETIC FIELD
HANS OERSTED
HE SAID THAT MAGNETISM CAN BE PRODUCED BY ELECTRICITY
AMPERE
DISCOVERED RADIO WAVES AD VERIFIED MAXWELL’S EM THEORY
HEINRICH HERTZ
THE SHORTER THE WAVELENGTH
THE HIGHER THE FERQUENCY
THE LOWER THE FREQUENCY
THE LONGER THE WAVELENGTH
WHAT ARE THE 7 ELECTRO MAGNETIC SPECTRUM
RADIOWAVE, MICROWAVE, INFERED, VISIBLE LIGHT, ULTRAVIOLET, X-RAY, GAMMA RAY
FORMULA FOR SOLVING THE SPEED OF THE WAVE
SPEED = FREQUENCY x WAVELENGTH
FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE FREQUENCY OF THE WAVE
FREQUENCY = SPEED/WAVELENGTH
FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE WAVELENGTH
WAVELENGTH = SPEED/FREQUENCY
HIGHEST POINT OF A WAVE
CREST
LOWEST POINT OF A WAVE
TROUGH
HEIGHT OF THE WAVE
AMPLITUDE
