Parts of a Wave
What is the highest point of a wave?
Crest
What type of wave has the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Radio waves
What do Spectro Glasses do?
The coating eliminates reflections from the front and back surfaces of the lenses meaning your eyes receive the most light possible, improving contrast and definition and reducing eye strain.
Where is the location of the electrons?
Outside of the Necleus
Light that you can see is a form of energy called what?
Radiant energy
What is the lowest point of a wave?
trough
What type of waves are a type of radio wave?
Microwaves
What is absorption spectroscopy?
all atoms or ions can absorb light at specific, unique wavelengths.
What kind of charge do electrons have?
Negative charge
The spectrum of electromagnetic radiation is known as what?
Electromagnetic spectrum
What is the distance from one crest to the next crest?
wavelengh
What type of waves have wavelengths longer than red light in the visible spectrum?
Infrared Waves
What is molecular spectroscopy?
the study of how molecules interact with electromagnetic radiation, specifically through absorption, emission, or scattering, to reveal information about their structure, composition, and dynamics.
What type of Mass do the electrons have?
Very small mass
Which rays have the shortest wavelengths, the highest energy, and the highest electromagnetic spectrum frequency?
Gamma rays
What is the measure of the number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time?
Frequency
What type of waves have wavelengths shorter than violet light in the visible spectrum?
Ultraviolet waves
What is nuclear type spectroscopy?
a technique that uses the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei to study the structure, dynamics, and chemical environment of molecules.
What type of Particles are electrons considered?
Fundamental Particles
What type of electromagnetic radiation do radio waves use?
Communication
Amplitude
What rays have shorter wavelengths and higher energy and frequencies than ultraviolet waves?
X rays
What is X-ray spectroscopy?
a technique that uses X-rays to analyze the elemental and chemical composition of a material by measuring the energy and wavelengths of X-rays emitted or absorbed by the sample.
What does the Electron shell do?
Electrons are arranged in specific energy levels or shells around the nucleus, with each shell having a maximum capacity for electrons.
What type of electromagnetic radiation do Infrared waves use?
