Electromagnetic spectrum

• The two types of waves are transverse waves and longitudinal waves.
• Gamma Rays have the shortest wavelength.
• The sun is the main source of ultraviolet rays.
• X-rays can be detected using photographic plates.
• Microwaves can be detected using a microwave detector.
• Radio waves has the longest wavelength.
• Visible light is detected by human eye.
• In physics, a wave is a movement up and down or back and forth.
• One of a series of ridges that moves across the surface of a liquid is a wave.
• There are three types of waves: Mechanical Waves, Electromagnetic Waves, and Matter Waves.
• Electromagnetic Spectrum is the term used to described the entire range of light that exists from radio waves to gamma rays, most of the light in the universe is, in fact, invisible to us.
• Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), which counts the number of waves that pass by a point in one second.
• Wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next.
• These two attributes are inversely related, with the larger the frequency, the smaller the wavelength and vice versa.
• The EM spectrum is generally divided into seven regions, in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency.
• Radio waves are the waves having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, with a frequency from high 300 GHz to low as 3 kHz.
• Microwaves are a form of "electromagnetic" radiation; that is, they are waves of electrical and magnetic energy moving together through space.
• Infrared radiation (IR), sometimes referred to simply as infrared, is a region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range from about 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm), with infrared waves being longer than those of visible light but shorter than those of radio waves.
• The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view, typically detecting wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.
• Ultraviolet (UV) light has shorter wavelengths than visible light but longer than X-rays, and although UV waves are invisible to the human eye, some insects, such as bumblebees, can see them.
• X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light, but have higher energy and can pass through most objects, including the body, and are used in medical imaging.
• A wave in physics is a movement up and down or back and forth.
• A wave is a series of ridges that moves across the surface of a liquid.
• Beta particles can partially penetrate skin, causing "beta burns".
• Alpha particles cannot penetrate intact skin.
• Gamma and x-rays can pass through a person, damaging cells in their path.
• There are three types of waves: Mechanical Waves, Electromagnetic Waves, and Matter Waves.
• Mechanical Waves move through a medium such as water, solid, and gas.
• Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium to move through.
• Matter Waves include electrons and particles.
• The parts of a wave include the Wave Crest, Wave Trough, Wave Height, Wavelength, and Amplitude.
• The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the term used to describe the entire range of light that exists from radio waves to gamma rays, most of the light in the universe is, in fact, invisible to us.
• Like any other wave, light has a few fundamental properties that describe it: Frequency and Wavelength.
• Frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), which counts the number of waves that pass by a point in one second.
• Wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next.
• The larger the frequency, the smaller the wavelength – and vice versa.
• The seven regions of Electromagnetic Waves include Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma rays.
• Radio waves are the waves having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum, with a frequency from high 300 GHz to low as 3 kHz.
• Microwaves are a form of "electromagnetic" radiation; that is, they are waves of electrical and magnetic energy moving together through space.
• Infrared radiation (IR), sometimes referred to simply as infrared, is a region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum where wavelengths range from about 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm).
