waves Flashcards
(72 cards)
disturbances that travel through a medium to one place to another.
waves
substance carrying waves (solid, liquid, gas)
medium
perpendicular movement, electromagnetic wave.
transverse waves
parallel movement sa propagation
longitudinal wave
if megnetic is present so does the
electric
parts of wave
crest, trough, amplitude, wave length (2), one wave, rest position
maximum positive upward displacement for the rest position
crest
point that exhibits the maximum negative downwars displacement for the rest position
trough
wavelength
length of one complete wave cycle (1 crest to another)
calculated the speed of electromagnetic wave to be 3.0 x 10 to the power of 8 m/s

refers to the time required to complete one cycle
waves period (T)
Unit of T:
S (seconds)
the number of cycle per time
Frequency (f)
unit of f:
Hz
distance the wave covers per cycle of propagation
wavelength
codename for types of electromagnetic waves
Raging Martians Invaded Venus Using X-Ray Guns
types of electromagnetic waves
Radio Wave
Microwave
Infrared
Visible light
Ultra-Violet
X-Ray
Gamma Ray
electromagnetic spectrum
continuous range of electromagnetic waves arranged in order of frequency or wavelength
what is radiowave?
mas mahaba wavelength kesa kay gamma ray, lowest frequency.
Discovered by Heinrich Hertz.
uses: broadcasting, information
long distance communication rely on
transmission and reception of electromagnetic wave such as radiowaves and microwaves
to send signal
