EM Spectrum
Interactions of Light Waves
Interactions of Light Waves II
What is Sound
100
These are the two types of waves.
What are Mechanical and Electromagnetic waves?
100
This is the only electromagnetic wave that can be seen.
What is visible light.
100
This electromagnetic wave has the smallest frequency and longest wavelength.
What are radio waves
100
In this interaction of light waves light bounces off of objects.
What is reflection.
100
A black t-shirt on a sunny day gets warm because of this type of wave behavior
What is absorption?
100
Sound waves travel faster through this state of matter.
What is a solid?
200
These are the two types of mechanical waves.
What are longitudinal and transverse waves?
200
All light travels at this speed
What is 3.0x10^8 m/s OR 300mil m/s OR 670mil mph.
200
These electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
what are gamma waves
200
In this interaction of a light wave light bends, causing rainbows and optical illusions such as the ruler with water.
What is refraction.
200
We see ourselves in mirrors because of this behavior of light
What is reflection?
200
Sound waves are this type of mechanical wave.
What is Longitudinal waves?
300
This is the length of a wave, measured from crest to crest or trough to trough.
What is wavelength?
300
An electromagnetic waves does not require this to travel.
What is a medium?
300
This electromagnetic wave gives us sun burn.
ultraviolet rays
300
In this interaction, light radiates completely through a material, such as glass.
What is transmission.
300
Why does a straw look bent in water?
What is refraction?
300
This is the direction longitudinal waves move.
What is side to side?
400
This is the height of the wave. It also is determined by the amount of energy in a wave.
What is Amplitude?
400
For light waves, changing the frequency of the wave also changes this.
What is change the color?
400
These types of electromagnetic rays are slightly dangerous. These waves produce heat.
What are infrared waves.
400
When light energy gets soaked into an object.
What is absorption.
400
Car windows have dark tint to help prevent this type of wave behavior.
What is transmission?
400
This is the vibration of molecules in a medium.
What is how sound waves move?
500
This is the number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time. Measured in units Hz (Hertz).
What is frequency?
500
When refracted, this type of light is split into a its individual wavelengths, producing a rainbow.
What is white light?
500
Ultraviolet rays gives us this one good side effect.
What is Aurora Borealis (The Northern Lights).
500
We can not see our reflection in rough objects because the light doesn't reflect at one angle. Instead the light _____________.
What is scatters.
500
Light refracts as it passes through our atmosphere. This wavelength is the first to scatter because it has the most energy.
What is the blue wavelength of light.
500
This occurs in sound waves when the particles move closer together, which creates regions of high pressure in the wave.
What is compression?
