A | B |
Wavelength | Distance from crest to crest |
Gamma | Shortest EM wavelength |
Radio | Longest EM wavelength |
UV | Radiation that causes sunburn |
Frequency | As wavelength increases this decreases |
Sun | A natural source of EM energy |
Visible light | Type of EM energy that can be seen |
Red | Visible light with longest wavelength |
Violet | Visible light with shortest wavelength |
ROYGBIV | Sequence of visible light spectrum |
Indigo | What the I stands for in ROYGBIV |
Prism | Instrument to break white light into colors |
Spectrum | The total array of electromagnetic energy types is the EM -?- |
Sound | Has waves but is not part of electromagnetic radiation |
Refraction | The bending of EM radiation as it travels from one medium to another |
Reflection | According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence always equals the angle of -?- |
Amplitude | As wave height increases, this increases |
White | If all the colors of visible light are combined, this color is produced |
Microwave | EM wavelength used to cook food and for cell phone transmission |
Second | Frequency is measured in cycles per -?- to pass a point |
Black | Color that absorbs the most visible light |
Heat | Infrared radiation is associated with the production of |
Speed | The -?- of light decreases as it moves from space into water |
Hertz | Unit in which frequency is measured |
Space | As EM radiation passes through this, it travels at the speed of light |
X Rays | Form of energy between gamma rays and UV rays on the EM spectrum |
Reflected | The color of an object comes from the visible light that is |
Black | When all visible light is absorbed, a material's color appears to be |
Transparent | When all light passes through an object it is said to be |
White | This color object reflects almost all visible light colors |
Absorbed | Light that does not pass through an object and is not reflected is |
Refraction | As light waves pass from air into water, they bend, which is called |
Decreases | The speed of EM waves does this as they move from the vacuum of space into a medium |
Red | John shines a white light through red glass, what color of light will pass out the other side? |
Shortest wavelength | When sunlight passes through the atmosphere, which wavelength scatters the most? |
