Waves & wave properties
The highest point of a wave.
What is the crest?
A reflective surface, now typically of glass coated with a metal amalgam, that reflects a clear image.
What is a mirror?
A type of electromagnetic radiation that is invisible to the human eye.
What is infrared light.
The distance between one point on a wave and the exact same place on the next wave.
What is wavelength?
A mirror with a smooth, reflective surface.
What is a plane mirror?
A type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light but longer than x-rays.
What is ultraviolet light?
How far the medium moves from the rest position.
What is Amplitude?
A panel of glass that can be seen through from one side but is a mirror on the other side.
What is a two-way mirror?
Electromagnetic wave of a wave that has a frequency used for long distance communication.
What are radio waves?
How many waves go past a point in one second; unit of measurement is hertz (Hz).
What is Frequency?
A mirror with a reflecting surface that curves inward, that gives more of a zoomed in view.
What is a concave mirror?
A type of electromagnetic radiation used in medical imaging to create black and white pictures of the inside body.
What are X-rays?
Waves in which the medium moves at right angles to the direction of the wave.
What is a transverse wave?
A mirror with a reflection surface that curves outward, creating a zoomed out image.
What is a convex mirror?
A form of high energy electromagnetic radiation with the shortness of wavelengths and high frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum .
What are gamma rays?
