What is Light
This is the only electromagnetic wave that can be seen.
What is visible light.
The range of energy, wavelength, and frequency for all forms of EM radiation
the EM spectrum
In this interaction of light waves light bounces off of objects.
What is reflection.
write 4.3756 x 104 in standard form
4375.6
This color contains every wavelength of visible light
What is white.
The speed that EM radiation travels
What is the speed of light
These electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength and highest energy.
gamma waves
In this interaction of a light wave light bends, causing rainbows and optical illusions such as the ruler with water.
What is refraction.
write 0.0005 in scientific notation
5.0 X 10-4
This color absorbs all visible wavelengths of EM radiation
What is black
A measurement of a waves crest to crest or trough to trough
wavelength
This electromagnetic wave gives us sun burn and is slightly more energetic than visible light.
ultraviolet radiation
What visible wavelengths of light does a red apple absorb?
What is everything but red.
write 8.317 x 106 in standard form
8,317,000
In a strawberry this wavelength is reflected.
What is red.
The transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation.
These types of waves are perceived as "heat." They are visible to some animals.
What are infrared waves.
When energy enters and transfers into an object.
absorption.
Express the following in standard notation:
8.025 x 10-8
.00000008025
A green filter __________ green wavelengths and _________ all other wavelengths
EM radiation transfers energy without this.
What is a medium?
These waves are produced with the least amount of energy.
What are radio waves.
When light travels from an energy source through a medium.
transmission
Wave A has a wavelength of 4.5 x 10-3m. Wave B has a wavelength of 4.5 x 102m. How many times would Wave A fit inside wave B?
What is 10,000
Changes in this property of a medium causes light to refract.
What is density
