electromagnetic radiation

Question 1

what are the types of EMR, and what do we focus on

Answer 1

radio, micro, UV, infrared, visible, and gamma. Focus on visible (light)

Question 2

what type of wave is light

Answer 2

transverse

Question 3

wavelength

Answer 3

length of wave, crest to crest

Question 4

frequency

Answer 4

of waves passing a point per second (higher wavelength= lower frequency)

Question 5

What are the two equations for light

Answer 5

C=λ v (C= 3e8 m/s, λ=wavelength (m), v=frequency(s))

E=hv (E=energy of a photon (J), H=6.626e-34, V=frequency (s-1/Hz))
