electromagnetic waves are
mechanical waves
in reflection, the angle of incidence
must equal the angle of reflection
in a vacuum, gamma rays and microwaves travel
at the same speed
the principle on which mirrors work
reflection
sunglasses reduce glare by using
polarization
sunlight breaking into a rainbow of colors is
dispersion
principle on which fiber optics is based
total internal reflection
finding a frequency of a wave given the wavelength
wavelength times frequency equals 3.8x 10^8
rate waves from greatest energy to least
gamma X-ray ultraviolet blue light infrared light
