SCIENCE 7 Radiowaves

Electromagnetic wave -Electromagnetic spectrum with lowest number of

-Type of wave that can travel in a vacuum frequency yet has the longest wavelength?

Electromagnetic wave Vacuum

-Light wave is considered as ____ wave -Empty space which has no air

Medium Compression
-Materials where waves are transmitted -Where waves are close together

Voice box Sound

-Also known as Larynx -Vibration produces

Audible sound Gamma ray

-Range of sensitivity of human ear -Electromagnetic spectrum with highest number
of frequency yet has the shortest wavelength?
Mechanical wave
-Type of wave that cannot travel without medium Trough
-Lowest point of the wave
Ultrasonic sound/wave
-Sound beyond human ears Back and forth
-Movement of longitudinal wave
Infrasonic sound/wave
-Sound below human ears Luminous source
-Natural source of light
Diffraction
-Property of light where it can spread out Mechanical waves
-Sound waves is considered as ___ wave.
Christiaan Huygens
-State that light is a wave Infrasonic sound
-Elephant’s range of sensitivity
Crest
-Also known as peak of the wave Illuminous source
-Needs luminous source to produce light
Frequency
-Number of waves expressed in Hz Conduction- touch
Convection- air/boil/melt
Isaac Newton
-State that light is a particle Radiation- sunrays
Phases of matter:
Up and down
-Direction of transverse waves Solid
Liquid
Rarefaction Gas
-Where waves spread out
Lower frequency, lower pitch
Visible Light Shorter wavelength. Higher frequency, higher
-Part of the spectrum that can be seen by the
human eye
