Wave Parts
This is the top of the wave
What is a crest?
The waves of the Electromagnetic Spectrum are all which type of wave?
What is a transverse wave?
The bouncing of light off a reflective surface
What is reflection?
Used to examine most areas of the body. Mainly bones and joints
What are x-rays?
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 10m that passes by in 2 seconds?
What is 5 m/s?
This is the distance between two crests or two troughs
What is a wavelength?
What do all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum carry?
What is Energy?
The bending of light
What is refraction?
What are gamma rays?
What is the frequency of a wave that travels at 200 m/s and has a wavelength of 25 m?
What is 8 Hz?
This is the bottom part of a wave
What is a trough?
How do the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum differ?
What is wavelength? or What is frequency? or What is energy?
The name that describes waves as they spread out in a pattern through a narrow slit. The smaller the slit, the larger the pattern
What is Diffraction?
Used for detecting fake bank notes in shops, killing microbes and sterilising
What are ultra violet waves?
Which color of the rainbow has the highest Wavelength (lowest Energy)?
What is Red?
This is the vertical distance between the middle of the wave and a crest or trough
What is an amplitude?
Which waves carry the most energy?
What are gamma rays?
Any substance that a wave can travel through
Used for cooking, speed cameras and radars
What are microwaves?
The color of the rainbow with the highest frequency/ highest energy?
What is Violet (or purple)?
This is the number of waves passing a point in one second
What is frequency?
Which waves are easily detected with our eyes?
What are the three terms you can use to describe a material's ability to let light pass through it?
What is Translucent, Transparent, and Opaque?
Used for communication
The angle that equals the angle of reflection
What is the Angle of Incidence?
