Electromagnetic Spectrum
Visible light, X-rays, microwaves, radio waves and gamma rays are all different types of this.
What is electromagnetic radiation?
The seven colors of the rainbow are always in this order.
What is ROYGBIV?
This is the bending of light as it travels through different mediums.
What is refraction?
This is a substance that a wave passes through.
What is a medium?
All claims in science should be supported by this.
What is evidence?
A property of electromagnetic waves that is a measure of how many waves pass a point in one second.
What is frequency?
What is red, green, and blue?
This type of reflection produces an exact image because light is reflected at an exact angle.
What is specular reflection?
Waves bounce off of a surface and head in a different direction.
What is reflection?
This is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon that can be tested.
What is a hypothesis?
Which has a longer wavelength, gamma radiation or visible light?
What is visible light?
This color is the longest wavelength of light that can be seen by the human eye.
What is Red?
When white light passes through a prism it is separated into the entire rainbow of colors because of this behavior of light.
The distance between the peak of one wave and the peak of the next wave?
What is the wavelength?
These types of observations and data are measured with numbers.
What is quantitative observations?
This type of electromagnetic radiation that has a wavelength that is slightly longer than visible red light.
What is infrared?
This color has a wavelength of around 600 nanometers.
What is yellow?
The energy from a light wave can be transferred to the material it hits, which is called this.
What is absorption?
Waves don't always travel in a straight line, they can bend around objects.
What is diffraction?
In an experiment, this is the aspect that the scientist changes in order to measure a result.
This type of electromagnetic radiation has the highest frequency on the spectrum.
What is gamma radiation?
This scientist proved that white light is composed of all the colors of visible light by using prisms.
Who is Isaac Newton?
This is the angle at which a light wave hits a surface, which is the same as the angle of reflection in specular reflection.
What is the angle of incidence?
This the reason black objects feel hotter under the sunlight.
What is absorption?
This is a logical interpretation of observations.
What is an inference?
