Sicence (waves) Flashcards
Name me all the electromagnetic waves in order
Radio wave
Micro waves
Infra red
Visible light
Ultra violet
X rays
Gamma rays
What is refraction
When a wave crosses a boundary between two materials it changes speed
What are radio waves mainly for
Communication
What are microwaves used by
Satellites
What is infrared radiation used for
To monitor temperature
What disease gamma ways and x rays give
Cancer
What are longitudinal waves
The are parallel to the direction of energy transfer
What are transverse waves
The are perpendicular to the energy transfer
Describe the required refraction practical
1: draw a straight line on a paper
2: use a protractor to draw lines at right angles
3: place a glass block next the straight line
4: draw the glass block out
5: turn the lights of
6:use a ray box to hit its light at the block
7: mark the path of the incident of ray (with crosses)
8: draw the incidents lines to the transmitted one
9 then measure it
