Wavelengths
What is the least powerful wavelength?
Radio
What real world materials do astronorms use to see into space?(Hint say the invention and what kind of things we use)
Telascope and Wavelegths
What can be found on the electromagnetic spectrum?
You can find all the electro megnetic radiation like: Radio, Microwave, Infered, visible ligth, ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma rays.
What is amplitude?
The height the wavlegth moves from its resting point.
What is a transverse wave?
A wave where particals move perpendicular to the direction of a wave
What wavlength has the darkest color and most radiation?
Gamma
What kind of wavlegth is used to see into the stars?
Visible light
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic spectrum is where all the electromagnetic radiation is whih holds everything from radio to gamma rays
On a wavelegth how can you tell which it amplitude?
You can tell by looking at the wavlegth and see what the amlitude is by looking at ita highest point.
What property of a wave is messured in Herts (HZ)?
Frequency
What are the two closest wavelengths to vissible light?
Infrared and Ultraviolet
What is an electromagnetic wave?
A from of energy that travles through space as a result of vibrating electric and magnetic feilds.
What is the name for the distance between two wave crests?
Wavelength
How does amplitude relate to a waves energy?
The higher the amplitude the higher the wave
How do particls move on a transvers wave?
They move back and forth
What is the difference between Red wavelengths and Blue wavelengths?(Hit use the colors and wavlengths in your answer)
The differences is that the blue wavlength goes from right to left and the Red wavlength is left to right.
What wavelegth do Astronormors use to see clouds and dust around Stars like Rigel?
Inferred light
Do all Em travle at the same speed?
Yes, all EM travle at the same speed
Is amplitude always positive and why?
Yes, becuase it represents the distance in hight from the equilibrium.
What is the highest point of a transverse wave called?
The crest
On a wave length what is the word used to describe the lowest point of a wave length?
Trough
How do electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves?
The do not need a medium to travle
Can stars Like Vega atrabuts be messured on the EM spectrum?
Yes, The tempature, magnetic feild, motion, and chemical composition can be all be messured
What is the difference between amplitude and frequency?
Amplitude is the distance or size of a wave while frequency is the number of complete cycles in a second
How is energy of a transverse wave related to its amplitude and frequency?
Directly porpotional to the square of its amplitude
