Gamma Rays
This type of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength and the highest energy.
What is a gamma ray?
This scientist discovered infrared waves.
Who is Sir Fredrick William Herschel?
It is used for various applications such as cooking, communication, and radar.
What is a microwave used for?
This term describes the number of times a wave oscillates in one second, typically measured in hertz
What is frequency?
This type of therapy helps treat diseases such as cancer by using high energy rays to shrink carcinogenic cells.
What is radiation therapy?
We detect it by feeling it as heat.
How do we detect infrared light waves?
A microwave by causing water and fat molecules to vibrate.
How does a microwave heat things?
This person first demonstrated the existence of radio waves.
Who is Heinrich Hertz
This French physicist discovered gamma rays in 1900 while studying radium.
Who is Paul Villard?
This method helps to determine the authenticity of paintings.
What is infrared reflectography?
It is approximately 1 millimeter to 1 meter.
What is the wavelength of a microwave?
The "FM" in FM radio stands for this type of modulation.
What is frequency modulation?
The radiation penetrates the food and kills germs or prevents them from multiplying, and it does not linger in the food.
How do gamma rays sterilize food?
A medical use of infrared light for treating skin conditions, such as psoriasis and acne.
What is Photobiomodulation therapy or (PBMT)?
This scientist accidentally discovered the cooking power of microwaves?
This imaging technique, often abbreviated as MRI, uses radio waves and magnetic fields to create detailed pictures of the body.
What is Magnetic Resonance Imaging?
For this reason, astronomers are able to see these violent events and can judge exactly how they shape the universe.
Why do scientists collect gamma rays?
A negative affect of infrared light caused by heat-induced inflammation, ultimately leading to wrinkles and other early signs of aging.
What is premature aging?
Negative affect of prolonged exposure of the eye to a microwave damages the lens cells, causing them to cloud or impair vision.
How do microwaves cause cataracts?
DAILY DOUBLE
This phenomenon occurs when radio waves bounce off layers of the Earth's ionosphere, enabling long-distance communication.
What is ionospheric reflection?
