what is the longest wavelength on the EM
radiowaves
What is the frequency of a wave
the number of times a pattern repeats itself in a given amount of time
what is the shortest wave on the EMS

compressions to compressions or rarefaction to rarefaction
What is only found in plant cells but not animal cells
cholorplasts, large vacuole, and cell wall
What has higher energy x-ray or ultraviolet
xray
the distance from one crest to another, or the distance from one trough to another
Infrared Waves on the electromagnetic spectrum give off what
heat
longitudinal waves and transverse waves travel through
mediums
where are the instructions stored that provide genetic information
on genes within chromosomes
What waves are used for sterilizing medical equipment and responsible for cell damage
UV waves
What happens to the wavelength as the frequency increases
the wavelength decreases
What is the order of the electromagnetic spectrum going from highest frequency to lowest
gamma ray, x ray, UV, visible light, infrared, microwave, radio wave
How do you measure amplitude
from the resting position to the crest or trough
when two plates collide what type of crustal feature is formed? How does this happen?
volcanic islands, when one plate subducts under the other the magma under the Earth is forced up creating a chain of volcanic islands
What wave is responsible for cellular technology
microwaves
