Wave Behaviour and Electromagnetic Waves Flashcards
How can a wave be absorbed
The wave transfers the energy to the second material. Udsuakked through thermal energy
How can a wave be transmitted
The wave carries on traveling through the second material. Usually leads to refraction and is used in communication, cameras and glasses
How can a wave be reflected
it is sent back and away from the second material. e.g an echo
True or false
All EM waves travel at the same speed through a vacuum
True
Different type of electromagnetic waves
Radio, Microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma rays
Order of EM from longest wavelength
Radio, Microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma rays
Order of EM from the highest frequency
Gamma-ray, x- rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwave, radio
