| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| photon | is a quantum of electromagnetic energy |
| amplitude | is one half the range from crest to valley over which the sine wave varies |
| frequency | is the number of wavelengths that pass a point of observation per second |
| wavelength | is the distance from one crest to another, from one valley to another from any point on the sine wave to the next corresponding point |
| four properties of photons | frequency, wavelength, velocity, and amplitude |
| attenuation | the reduction of radiation intensity due to scattering and absorption |
| radio waves | the energy of a photon is directly proportion |
| x-ray | are usually identified by their energy (or wavelength) |
| velocity | electromagnetic radiation is constant |
| nucleus | gamma rays are produced in the nucleus of the atom |
| battery | is a source of direct current |
| magnetic field | a charged particle in motion |
| tesla (T) | what is the SI unit of magnetic field strength |
| magnetic moment | the rotation of electrons on their axis |
| watts (W) | electrical power |
| insulators | rubber and glass |
