Energy
disturbance that transmits energy as it travels
Wave
what is reflection
the ability to bounce off a surface
what is absorb
the ability to take in
The entire range of light waves emitted from the sun
Electromagnetic spectrum
Energy involved in the motion of light waves
Light Energy
The distance between the tops of 2 waves
Wavelength
what is transmit
the ability to pass though
the smallest part of an object
atom
the part of the electromagnet spectrum that is visible to the human eye
Visible light
Energy from the sun
Solar Energy
waves made of electrical fields and magnetic fields that vibrate at right angles
Light Waves
2 or more atoms that are bonded together
molecules
the middle of an atom made up of protons and neutrons
Nucleus
Lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum it also gives off heat
infrared light
the energy involving the movement of atoms and molecules
Heat Energy
a wave which the matter moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave
Transverse Wave
braking or joining together of nuclei
Nuclear reaction
the number of waves that pass in a time period
frequency
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum past the violet of the visible spectrum it cannot be seen but can be felt
Ultraviolet light
Transfer of energy though electromagnetic waves
Suns radiation
A wave which the partials move parallel with the direction of the wave
Longitudinal wave
how does light travel
in a straight line it cannot be seen until it hits and object
