The Nature Of Electromagnetic Waves

Question 0

Electromagnetic spectrum

Answer 0

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays x-rays, and gamma rays.

Question 1

electromagnetic wave

Answer 1

An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave that involves the transfer of electric and magnetic energy.

Question 2

Radio Waves

Answer 2

Electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies.

Question 3

Microwaves

Answer 3

Microwaves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radio waves

Question 4

Radar

Answer 4

Radar is a system that uses reflected microwaves to detect objects and measure their distance and speed.

Question 5

Infrared Rays

Answer 5

Infrared rays are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than those of microwaves. They have higher frequencies and therefore more energy.

Question 6

Thermogram

Answer 6

A thermogram is an image that shows regions of different temperatures in different colors.

Question 7

Visible light

Answer 7

Visible light are electromagnetic waves that you can see with your eyes.

Question 8

Ultraviolet rays

Answer 8

Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths just shorter than those of visible light are call ultraviolet rays.

Question 9

X-rays

Answer 9

Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths just shorter than those of ultraviolet rays are called X-rays

Question 10

Gamma rays

Answer 10

Electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are gamma rays.
