What is Mechanical Energy
200
A microwave converts electrical energy into these 4 forms of energy.
What is thermal, sound, light and mechanical energies.
200
in the EMS, the larger the waves the __________ the amount of energy the wave has.
What is less
200
This is a measurement of wave from crest to crest or from trough to trough
What is wavelength
200
