The EM Spectrum
EM Waves
Wave Applications
High Energy, Low Energy, Dangerous
Marvinisms and Miscellaneous
100
Unlike mechanical waves, Electromagnetic Waves don't need a what?
Medium to go through
100
These Waves come off anything that produces heat
Infrared
100
These large waves are used for communication such as radios, sending signals to earth from orbital telescopes and even sending some signals to your PHONE
Radio
100
The most dangerous wave - high frequency / high energy
Gamma
100
This wave behavior happens when a waves bounces off substances (like a mirror)
Reflection
200
Electromagnetic waves consist of how many waves working together?
2 (electrical and magnetic)
200
These Waves are the lowest energy waves (lowest frequency)
Radio Waves
200
These waves can be used for cancer treatments and are also emmitted in high levles by nuclear weapons. Prolonged exposure can be either very, very dangerous (they do not turn you big, green, and strong).
Gamma Rays
200
Are infrared waves kinda high or kinda low energy
Low
200
When waves hit something and stop (Refraction, Absorption or Reflection)?
Absorption
300
What do we call all of electromagnetic waves listed together in order of wavelength and frequency?
The electromagnetic SPECTRUM
300
This is the only part of the EM spectrum that we can see
Visible Light
300
Thermal images like this are created by devices that can see what type of EM waves. 
Infrared
300
Can radio waves harm humans
No
300
You just got lucky.....
You got these points for "free"!
400
True or false, we CANNOT see all parts of the electromagnetic spectrum with the human eye.
True
400
These Waves have slightly more energy than visible light. They can cause skin damage but aren't as dangerous as x rays or gamma rays
Ultraviolet
400
These waves cause sunburns, can be used to disinfect surfaces, cure inks and resins in industry, and purify air in certain types of air purifiers.
Ultraviolet
400
Are UV rays kinda high or kinda low energy
High
400
Something that a mechanical wave passes through; transverse waves like on the EM Spectrum do NOT need them to travel like sound waves do.
Medium
500
The difference in the type of electromagnetic waves is the amount of ___________ that the wave carries.
Energy (frequency)
500
These waves have the distinction of being the highest energy waves on the EM Spectrum. They are LETHAL.
Gamma Rays
500
Nikola Tesla was the first to use this type of wave to take this image of a man wearing a golf shoe.
X-Ray
500
Which wave has the lowest energy (frequency)
Radio
500
What color of the rainbow has the longest wavelength (lowest frequency)?
Red
