EM waves

(blank) is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a specified amount of time.

A

v (speed of light)

One wave per second = hertz

23
Q

EM waves

defined as the distance mesured from one crest of a wave to another

24
Q

EM waves

Has the longest wavelength

25
# EM waves used to trasmit data such as AM and FM radio broadcasting, TV broadcasting, and satellite communication.
Radiowaves
26
# EM waves Frequency is inversly proportional to the wavelength, slay or nayh?
Slay
27
# EM waves used to cook food, radar, satellite, and cell phone communication
Microwaves
28
# Em waves Classified as "near" and "far".
Infrared
29
# EM waves Waves in the EM spectrum that humans can see, violet has the highest frequency, red has the lowest.
Visible light
30
# Em waves They are germicidal, and are used to detect forged bank notes.
Ultraviolet
31
# Em waves This is discovered by Wilhem Roentgen, and can penetrate soft tissues like skin and muscles
X-rays
32
# Em waves Has the shortest waves but has the most energy, sometiems used in treating cancer and in taking detailed images for diagnostic medicine.
gamma rays
33
# Em waves This device sends out short bursts of microwaves.
Radar
34
# Em waves This scientist founded teh science of electromagnetic waves
Andrie Marie Ampere (1775-1836)
35
# Em waves This scientist formualted the electromagnetic induction
Michael Faraday | (1791-1867)
36
# Em waves They confirmed the existence of EM waves (frequency & wavelength)
Heinrich Hetz | (1857-1894)
37
# Em waves They discovered the microwaves, the Em waves nature of light, and "Maxwell's Equation".
James Clerk Maxwell | (1831-1879)
38
# Em waves They discovered that a current -carrying conductor produces a magnetic field
Hans Christian Oersted | (1777-1851)
39
# Kineic and potential energy It is a kind of energy of an object that posesses dues to its motion.
Kinetic energy | it should have speed and mass
40
# Kinetic and potential energy The faster an object, the more kinetic energy it has.
Speed
41
# Kinetic and potential energy The more (Blank) it has, the more kinetic energy there will be.
Mass.
42
It is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position or current condition.
Potential energy
43
# Optics It is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface.
Reflection
44
# optics It is the change in direction of light ray as it passes from one medium to another.
Angle of refraction
45
# optics It is the angle between a ray incident on a surface and the line perpendicular to the surface called the normal.
Angle of incident
46
# optics it refracts parallel rays of light inwards to a single point.
Convex lens | ALso called as converging lens
47
# optics It refracts parallel ways of light outwards \.
Concave lens
48
# optics the length between the focal point to the lens
focal length
49
# optics this forms if lightways come together in a certain point to form an image.
Real image
50
# optics This is formed when the light rays don't come together where the image appears to be.
Virtual image

# optics This lens is real, inverted, and makes images smaller
Convex lens
52
# optics This lens is virtual, upright and images appear to be small
