Parts of the wave
The highest part of the wave
What is the crest
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
This is a wave bouncing back off the surface?
What is reflection?
this is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see
What is visible light?
Sound waves are this type of wave
What are longitudinal waves?
the lowest part of the wave
What is the trough?
This color is the middle color in the visible spectrum
What is green?
The number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
What is frequency?
What are radio waves?
Visible light are these type of waves
What are transverse waves?
The height of the wave from the resting position
What is the amplitude?
the sky is this color because the atmosphere scatters this light more than other colors.
What is blue?
a wave that can only travel through matter
what is a mechanical wave?
One of these types of waves can help in the medical field.
What are xrays? Or what are gamma rays?
this is how long light takes to reach Earth from the sun?
8 minutes
the distance between one point on the wave and the nearest point just like it
This color has the longest wavelength
What is red?
this is a form of energy that can move through the vacuum of space
What is electromagnetic waves?
Over exposure to these types of rays can cause sunburns
What are UV rays?
Of light waves and sound waves, this is faster
What is light waves?
The central, undisturbed position of the medium before the wave passes.
What is the equilibrium?
This color has the highest frequency
What is violet?
This is the passage of light through an object
what is transmission?
These waves are used in radar
What are microwaves?
What is white light?
