Electromagnetic Radiation
The type of wave with the longest wavelength.
What are radio waves?
A higher frequency corresponds to a _________ energy.
What is higher?
This is the process where light bounces off a smooth surface, like a mirror.
Sound waves travel fastest in this type of material: solid, liquid, or gas.
What is a solid?
This variable is measured.
What is the dependent variable?
The type of wave with the highest frequency.
What is a gamma ray?
This wave property is the number of times a wave passes a given point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
When light bends as it passes from one medium to another, like from air to water, this process occurs.
What is refraction?
Light waves travel fastest in this type of medium.
What is a vacuum?
This force pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
What is gravity?
This type of wave is what we can see.
What is visible light?
This wave property is the height of the wave from its resting position to the crest/trough.
What is amplitude?
Dark-colored objects feel warmer in sunlight because they do this to light energy.
What is absorb?
Sound waves move faster in solids because the particles are ____________.
What is closer together?
The force of gravity between two objects increases when this property of the objects increases.
What is mass?
These waves allow us to research space.
What is visible light, infrared light, and X-rays?
A longer wavelength corresponds with a __________ frequency.
What is lower?
A red apple appears red because it reflects red light and absorbs these colors.
What are all other colors of visible light?
Sound cannot travel through space because it lacks this essential component
What is matter?
The force of gravity decreases as this property between two objects increases.
What is distance?
Ultraviolet radiation has a shorter wavelength than visible light, but a longer wavelength than this type of wave.
What are X-rays?
A shorter wavelength corresponds with a ___________ amount of energy.
What is higher?
A mirage on a hot road occurs due to light bending from layers of air at different temperatures. This is an example of this type of light behavior.
What is refraction?
When light enters a denser material, this happens to its speed and direction.
What is it slows down?
This force is the push or pull between objects caused by their charge.
What is electrical force?
