Electromag Energy

QuestionAnswer
Electromagnetic energy form of energy that exists as an electric and magnetic disturbance in space
slides with too much info to fit 2, 6, 11, 12, 13, 15, 22, 23
James Maxwell electromagnetic theory, “an electric and magnetic disturbance traveling through space at the speed of light.”
Electromagnetic Spectrum Range of energies. way of ordering or grouping the different electromagnetic radiations
Frequency (f) Number of wavelengths; rate of rise and fall
Velocity speed of light (constant at 3.0 x 10^8 m/s)
Wavelength (λ) Distance between 2 successive points of a wave
Amplitude Wave intensity identified by height; ½ range from crest to valley
Wavelength & Frequency are ___________ proportional inversely
when wavelength is long and frequency is low the energy is ______ low
amplitude and effect on energy height of wave, no effect on energy
photons smallest quantity of electromagnetic energy
photons have no ______ or __________ mass or charge
electromagnetic radiation Consists of simultaneous electric and magnetic waves ____ degrees to each other 90
The full range of all of the different types of electromagnetic radiations arranged in order of increasing energy: Radio Radar/microwaves Infrared Visible light Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma rays
visible light Identified by wavelength, Non-ionizing, Smallest segment of EM spectrum
color black represents absorption of all of the color wavelengths
White light consists of all of the colors of the visible spectrum together.
infrared Low-Energy EM radiation
Ultraviolet has energies approaching those of x-rays and gamma rays.
Gamma Rays Originate in the nucleus of atoms
Visible light photons behave more like ________ waves
X-ray photons behave more like_________ particles
Wavelength (λ) = velocity/ frequency
Particle Theory X-rays behave as particles when interacting with matter
f= c/λ f unit is frequency Hertz (Hz)
f= c/λ c is C = 3 x 108 m/s
Max Planck Father of Quantum Physics. Described the relationship between radiation energy & frequency
Planck’s Quantum Theory X-ray photon energy is directly proportional to x-ray photon frequency
Planck’s Quantum equation Photon energy = Planck’s constant x frequency (E = hf)
unit for E (Photon energy) eV
H= Planck’s constant 4.15 x 10-15 eVs
unit for f (photon frequency) Hz

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
