Lab | Questions & Answers | Grade A | 100%
Correct. Portage Learning
1. Waves: Oscillation or periodic movement that can transport energy from
one point space to another
2. Electromagnetic Waves: Consist of an electric and magnetic field,
oscillating perpendicular to one another as well as the direction of travel
3. Wavelength ()»: - Distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs in a
wave - Measured in meters
-(lambda »)
,4. Frequency (v): - Number of wave cycles (complete wavelengths) that pass
a specified point in space in a specified amount of time - Measured in hertz,
Hz (cycles per second, 1/s or s^-1) -(nu)
5. Amplitude (a): Magnitude of the wave's displacement, which is one half
the height between the peaks and troughs. Usually tells us about intensity.
6. speed of light equation: c=»v (lamda nu)
c = wavelength * frequency - these are inversely proportional (as wavelength
goes up, frequency goes down and vice versa) c is a constant value = 2.998 *
10^8 m/s for electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum
Units: nm need to converted to meters (10^9 nm = 1m)
7. electormagnetic spectrum: Range of energies that electromagnetic
radiation can comprise, including radio, microwaves, infrared, visible,
ultraviolet, x-rays and gamma rays
8. Isaac Newton: When trying to separate the colors of light with lenses and
prisms, light it went in a straight line the way particles do so light was
, made of particles that travel at high speeds in accordance with his laws of
motion
9. Christian Huygens: Reflection and refraction experiments leading him to
saying light was waves (not particles)
10. Thomas Young: - Double slit experiment
- Light shown through both slits should have appeared as two line of viewing
screen but instead their were multiple lines showing that Light was made of
waves -
11. James Clerk Maxwell: - Light is made of two waves; electric and
magnetic field - First colored photo
- visible light was only part of a vast spectrum
12. Two Domains Scientists View the Physical Universe as: - Matter
- Electromagnetic Radiation
13. Matter: composed of particles moving according to Newton's laws of
motion 14. Electromagnetic Radiation: - Consists of waves governed by
Maxwell's equations *Carries energy and momentum through space
