These rays have enough energy to penetrate deep into tissues and cause damage to cell; they are stopped by dense materials such as bone.
X rays
Which type of wave is used in radar or satellite transmissions.
Radio waves
The turning back of a wave when it reaches the boundry of the medium through which it is traveling.
Refection
These rays have enough energy to penetrate deep into tissues and cause damage to cells.
Gamma rays
What type of wave is used in microwaves, ovens, and cell phones.
Micro waves
The bending of a wave as it passes obliquely from one medium into another of different propagation speed.
Refraction
Define resonance
the vibration of an object caused by another vibration at the object's natural frequency.
What type of wave is used for finding people in the dark and in tv remote control devices.
Infared Waves
The spreading of a wave around a barrier or through an opening
Diffraction.
Define Polarization
the action of restricting the vibrations of a transverse wave to a single direction.
These are the waves in the EM spectrum people can see.
Visible light
The phenomenonthat occurs when two waves meet in the same position at the same time resulting in a larger amplitude.
Constructive interference
Define Doppler effect
an increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other.
waves usedin eye surgery.
EM waves
The phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet in the same position at the same time, resulting in smaller amplitude
