Question | Answer |
electromagnetic radiation | a form of energy exhibiting wavelike behavior as it travels through space |
wavelength | the shortest distance between equivelent points of a constant wave. |
frequency | the number of waves that pass through a given point per second |
amplitude | the height of a wave from origin to trough or crest |
electromagnetic spectrum | all forms of electromagnetic radiation, with the only differences in the type of radiation being their frequency and wavelengths. |
