Electromagnetic
This type of energy is commonly referred to as light.
What is electromagnetic radiation?
The complete range of wavelengths of electromagnetic waves.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
These materials are things that you can clearly see through because they allow most of the light to pass through them.
What is transparent?
The second thing light can do if the conditions are right.
What is transmission?
If you've ever been blinded by the sun reflecting off of snow or water it's because of this.
What is unpolarized light?
This type of radiation is a transfer of energy by special waves.
What is electromagnetic radiation?
These low-frequency waves can be as long as a football field.
What are radio waves?
This absorbs or reflects all of the light that strikes it.
What is an opaque material?
When a light wave encounters an obstacle.
What is refracts?
When reflected light waves vibrate mainly in the horizontal plane.
What is ploarized?
In order to make light, these two types of waves must exist.
What are transverse waves in an electric field and transverse waves in a magnetic field?
Our eyes are designed to identify this.
What is visible light?
When light passes through a medium it is doing this.
What is transmitted?
Light waves bend as they change what from traveling in air to traveling in water.
What is speed?
This happens when you turn two polarizing filters perpendicular to each other.
What is no light passes through?
The speed of light depends on this.
What is the medium through which it travels?
Roy G. Biv
What is the first letter of each color?
When light waves bounce off an obstacle.
What is reflection?
When a light refracts into a substance in which it must slow down the light ray does this.
What is bends towards a perpendicular line?
When light rays from the sun pass through these molecules or particles, the particles can redirect the light waves.
What is called scattering.?
The interaction of waves with other waves.
What is interference?
This color has a wavelength of 580 nanometers.
What is yellow?
This law governs how mirrors work.
What is the law of reflection?
Light reflects down this because there is no refraction.
What is long fiber optic cable?
The reason why you see different colors at sunset.
What is the angle of the sun is greater and the light must travel a longer distance to reach Earth?
