Question 1

what is the order of waves in increasing frequency

Answer 1

radio
micro
infared
visible
ultraviolet
x-ray
gamma ray

Question 2

what is the electro magnectic spectrum

Answer 2

this is a continuous range pf electric waves it is called the elctromagnetic spectrum because all of the wavesit contains an elctric feild nd a magnetic feild that ocisilates.

Question 3

what speed do the waves tarvel at in a vacume what is it called

Answer 3

all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacume this is called the speed of light

Question 4

what is the speed of light

Answer 4

3x10 to the power of 8 meters per second

Question 5

in order of frequency which is the highest and whihc is the lowest

Answer 5

gama
xray
ultravilot
visible
infared
micro wave
radio wave

Question 6

what is the top of a wave called

Answer 6

the peake

Question 7

what is the distance from the top or bootom of a wave to the centeer line called

Answer 7

the amplitude

Question 8

what is the distance from peake to peak of a eave called

Answer 8

the wavelength

Question 9

what is the base of the wave called

Answer 9

trof

Question 10

whata re the two types of waves

Answer 10

transverse and longitudinal

Question 11

what is an example of a longitudinal wave

Answer 11

siesmic p wave and an ultra sound

Question 12

what is an example of a transverse wave

Answer 12

electromagnetic waves
seismic

Question 13

what angle is the dirction of osiliaition in a transverse wave

Answer 13

90 degrees

Question 14

what does absorbe mean

Answer 14

taking something in

Question 15

what is white light

Answer 15

this is where are all colours are put together for exampel the sun is white light

Question 16

why might some things obsorbe colours and why migh something reflect colours

Answer 16

this depends on the wave length of something. atoms haviing electrons that are arranged at different distances from the nucleus. These arrangements may change with absobtionemmisissons of elctro magnetic raidiaition and atoms can become ions by loss of outer electrons

Question 17

what are the different tyepes of ionising raidiation

Answer 17

uv
xray
gama

Question 18

what can ionising raidiation do

Answer 18

they can remove elctrons from atoms

Question 19

what hppens when an em wave is trying to be asorbed

Answer 19

when an em wave hots an electron it gains energy and moves it to a higher energy levle. The Em wave is the absorbed

Question 20

what happens whehn an Em wave is being emited

Answer 20

when electrons fall down a energy levle they loose enrgy this is given out as an em wave. which is the emitted

Question 21

wwhat can ionising raaidiation cause to the body

Answer 21

it can cause cancer
it can also cause DNA mutaitions

Question 22

what is infared raidiation

Answer 22

it is heat

Question 23

what do greenhouse gases do

Answer 23

they prevent infared rasiaition being refelctyed thereofr gradually increasing the temperature to increase

Question 24

what is reflection

Answer 24

when light bounces off a surface of a material

Question 25

what is the incident ray

Answer 25

the incedent ray is the ligjt or wave being projected onto a surface

Question 26

what is the angle of incedence

Answer 26

this is the angle at whihc the light or wave came in at before being reflectedd

Question 27

what is the reflected ray

Answer 27

this is the ray which has now been reflected off of the surface

Question 28

what is the angle of reflection

Answer 28

this is the angle at which the ray has left the reflectable surface
