Waves

Question 1

Electromagentic spectrum

Answer 1

The whole range of EM waves in order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength.

It’s radiation so the higher frequency, the more energy in waves

Question 2

Shortest radio waves are what?

Answer 2

Microwaves used to cook foods, cell phone transmission, radio transmission

Question 3

Visible light

Answer 3

Only waves we can see, wave lengths go from red To violet because of their wavelengths (roygbiv). Higher than infrared waves on frequencies.

Question 4

Electromagnetic waves

Answer 4

Consists of electric waves and a magnetic field.

Question 4

Oscillates

Answer 4

Moves back and forth

Question 5

Electro magnetic induction

Answer 5

A wave pulls itself along by having 1 type of field continually creating the other field.

Question 6

Frequency

Answer 6

number of crests of a wave that move past a given point

Question 7

3 basic types of interactions light can go through is…

Answer 7

Opaque

Translucent

Transparent

Question 8

Diffraction

Answer 8

When light disperses when it goes through an object

Question 9

Refraction

Answer 9

When light bends when it goes through different densities

Question 10

Mirage

Answer 10

Optical illusion on a hot road caused by the refraction of light from the sky by hot air
