Waves

Cards (5)

  •  Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency
  • Infrared radiation is emitted from all objects that have thermal heat energy.
  • Refraction refers to the change in direction of a wave, as it passes from one medium to another, and is caused by its change in speed.
  • Light travels more slowly in a more dense material.
  • Refractive index
    The refractive index of a material is a measure of the speed of light as it passes through that material, compared to the speed of light as it passes through a vacuum.
