Characteristics of Waves
What is the height of a wave from the origin?
What is Amplitude?
This type of radiation has the largest wavelength.
What are radio waves?
What is the variable that represents frequency?
What is V?
This man proposed the dual nature of light?
Who is Albert Einstein?
This is the amount of energy lost.
What is a Quanta?
This characteristic is the shortest distance between equivalent points.
What is Wavelength?
This type of radiation may cook your popcorn, but it also helps scientists learn about the structures of nearby galaxies.
What is microwave radiation?
c=wavelength x frequency
The letter c represents a constant for this.
What is the speed of light?
An atom is in this state if it releases energy.
What is Excited?
This is a particle of electromagnetic radiation with no mass.
What is a photon?
Represented by the Greek letter “Nu,” this characteristic is the number of waves that pass a given point per second.
What is Frequency?
This type of radiation has the highest energy on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are Gamma Rays?
EPhoton= hν
This equation is used to calculate what?
What is the energy of a photon?
This separates light.
What is a prism?
He came up with a formula to figure out the wavelength based on the frequency and mass of particles

What is a rainbow?
6.626 x 10³⁴
What is Planck’s Constant?
This diagram contains a flaw in that it does not explain all the characteristics.
What is the wave model of light?
Light in a neon sign is produced when this passes through a tube with neon atoms
What is electricity?
