100
Electromagnetic Waves have different these
What is "Wavelengths"
100
Reflection involves a minimum of this many rays
What is "Two"
100
Electromagnetic waves are produced by constantly changing these
What is "Fields"
100
The rate at which a waves energy flows through a given unit of area
What is "Intensity"
200
The intensity of light decreases as photons travel farther from this
What is "Source"
200
Radio waves, television waves, and microwaves are all types of these
What is "Electromagnetic Waves"
200
A ray of light that hits this surface is called this
What is "Incident Ray"
200
Electromagnetic waves are produced when an electric charge does one of these
What is "Vibrates or Accelerates"
200
The wavelength is this proportional to the frequency
What is "Inversely"

The speed is the product of the wavelength and this
What is "Frequency"
300
Very long radio waves the size of these
What is "Buildings"
300
This law indicates that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
What is "Snell's"
300
These are transverse waves consisting of changing electric fields and changing magnetic fields
What is "Electromagnetic Waves"
300
Sometimes behaves like a wave and sometimes like a stream of particles
What is "Electromagnetic Radiation"
400
The ____ and ____ waves exhibit some of the same behaviors as mechanical waves
What is "Visible/Invisible"
400
Did you know that electromagnetic waves can not only be described by their wavelength, but also by their energy and this
What is "Frequency"
400
Reflection from a smooth, mirror-like surface is called this
What is "Specular"
400
This scientist constructed an experiment to determine the speed of light
Who is "Michelson"
400
This English physicist showed light behaved like a wave
What is "Thomas Young"
500
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, or empty space, as well as through this
What is "Matter"
500
Daily Double This is the shortest electromagnet wave
What is "Gamma or Gamma Waves"
500
This occurs when the light ray changes mediums. Light traveling through air and then going through water is an example of a light ray changing medium.
