Types of waves
What is a type of wave that can happen in vacuums
Electromagnetic waves
Distance between waves
Wavelength
Rays from the sun that you would normally use sunscreen to block
Ultraviolet rays or U.V rays
What is it called when light bends
Refraction
What does sound go through the fastest
Solids
What type of wave can't go through vacuums
Sound waves
Lowest point of a wave
Trough
a wavelength just greater than that of the red end of the visible light spectrum but less than that of microwaves
Infrared
What happens when light hits a mirror
Reflection
What does sound go through the slowest
Gas
Transverse wave
Highest point of a wave
Amplitude
Used to view the insides of a persons body
X-ray
What happens to white light when it goes through a prism
It splits into multiple colors
Sound can be produced in space true or false
False
waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels
Longitudinal wave
How often a wave appears
Frequency
Used in medicine for killing cancer cells
Gamma rays
How many colors can white light split into
Sound can be produced in liquid true or false
True
a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a material medium
Mechanical wave
A disturbance in a substance or material from point to point
Wave
the entire distribution of electromagnetic radiation according to frequency or wavelength
Electromagnetic spectrum
how does light bend
whenever light travels at an angle into a substance with a different refractive direction
The higher the frequency (shorter wavelength), the louder the sound true or false
True
