Wave science
Features of a wave and electromagnetic spectrum
| Word | Answer |
|---|---|
| Order or waves | Radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays, gamma rays |
| Radio Waves | 1st...... longest wavelength, lowest frequency and energy. Used for televisions, radios, seeing inside the body etc. |
| Micro Waves | 2nd...... Part of the Radio Waves. shortest wavelength and highest frequency OF THE RADIO WAVES. Used for communication (satellites). |
| Infrared Waves | 3rd...... Type of electromagnetic (heat) radiation. Long wavelength and lower frequency and energy. |
| Ultraviolet Waves | 4th...... Type of electromagnetic radiation (relative to light).Ables body to make vitamin D. Too much can result in sunburns, skin cancer etc. |
| X Rays | 5th...... shorted wavelength and higher energy and frequency than Ultraviolet waves. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered them in 1895. |
| Gamma Rays | 6th...... Shortest wavelength and highest energy and frequency. Produced my hottest places on earth. Result from nuclear reactions. Focused gamma rays can be used to kill cancer cells. |
| Wave Crest | Highest point on a wave |
| Wave Trough | Lowest point on a wave. |
| Rest Position | where the water would lay if all were still. |
| Wavelength | The distance from a crest to crest or trough to trough. |
| Wave Amplitude | The hight or depth of a wave from rest position. Either from crest to rest position or trough to rest position. |
