It's the Law!
Einstein's theory of Special Relativity says that nothing with ____ can travel faster the the speed of light.
The only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see.
What is visible light?
The type of material that light waves can pass through but the material scatters the light waves.
What is Translucent?
This is a transverse wave composed of an oscillating electric field and a magnetic field that oscillates perpendicular to the electric field.
What is an electromagnetic wave?
Which waves have the next longest wavelengths after visible light (just longer than red wavelengths)?
What is infrared light. (Infra means below so infrared wavelengths are just longer than red light wavelengths)
The law of reflection states this.
What is ... The angle of the reflection equals the angle of incidence?
Electromagnetic waves that have shorter wavelengths than those of microwaves produce this kind of light.
What is Infrared Light?
Radio waves have _____ frequencies than visible light.
What is lower?
The interaction of waves.
What is interference?
The particle theory of light views a ray of light as a beam of individual particles called this.
What are photons?
This law staes that energy cannot be created nor destoryed; it can only be converted from one form to another or transferred from one object to another.
What is the law of conservation of energy.
Electromagnetic waves that have shorter wavelengths than those of visible light produce this type of light.
What is Ultraviolet light?
This type of ray is the most energetic electromagnetic wave.
What is Gamma Ray?
2 types of wave interference
What are constructive and destructive interference
The type of lens that refracts light rays through a single point.
What is converging lens?
The list of colors in the spectrum, in order from longest to shortest wavelength.
What is ROY G BIV? Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
This is the definition of Polarized light.
What is light waves that vibrate in only one plane?
Name the 7 types of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are radio, microwave, infared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays.
The relationship between wavelength and frequency.
What is inverse?
When wavelengths are longer the frequency decreases and when wavelengths are shorter the frequency increases.
Light waves cause these two things to oscillate.
What are magnetic and electric fields?
The quantum-mechanical theory says that light is both ___ and ___.
What is a particle and a wave?
This is what happens when light or sound waves encounter an obstacle. (List two options.)
What is reflect and refract?
This is WHY X-rays are used to look at bones/teeth.
What is...they have enough energy to pass through soft tissue but not enough energy to pass through bones.
Energy that is transferred by electromagnetic waves
What is electromagnetic radiation?
The type of lens that refracts light, bending it outward and away.
What is a diverging lens?
