Radiant energy from short wavelength gamma rays to long wavelength radio waves. They are photons of energy traveling in a wavelike manner. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the electromagnetic energy.
electromagnetic energy
it is radiant energy that travels in waves at the speed of light: described as radiant energy.
electromagnetic energy
is a span of the range of frequencies and wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. each type of wave and frequency combination creates different forms of energy.
electromagnetic spectrum
wavelength is ______ when higher frequency and energy
shorter
wavelength is _________ when lower frequency and energy
longer
The human eye can only detect a very small portion of this spectrum called the?
visible light
is a span of the range of frequencies and wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, each type of wave and frequency combination creates different forms of energy.
electromagnetic spectrum
is equivalent to the number of wave crests that reach a specific point of each sound, so the frequency can also be thought of as each peak of a wave as it rolls and moves.
electromagnetic frequency
This measurement of frequency- the one wave cycle per second is called?
hertz (Hz)
types of electromagnetic energies: (9)
• Cosmic rays
• Gamma rays
• X-rays
• Visible
• Ultra-violet (UV)
• Infrared (IR)
• Radio, TV, microwave, etc.
are low-frequency electromagnetic waves; it is intracept in the start of electromagnetic spectrum.
radiowaves
____ _______ with longer wavelengths have the lowest frequency and are consequently the lowest energy
EM waves
a type of electromagnetic wave with wavelengths within the range of Imeter to 1millimeter; its corresponding frequencies range from 300megahertz to 300gigahertz respectively.
microwave
These are extensively used in wireless networks such as satellite and spacecraft communications, microwave radio relay networks, medical treatment remote sensing particle accelerators, radio astronomy and spectroscope
microwave
is a region of the electromagnetic spectrum where in wavelengths
range from about 700nanometers to 1millimeter
infrared waves
infrared radiation
2 types of infrared:
far (thermal) infrared and near infrared
used to detect and locate new bodies in space (Infrared waves allow us to track and monitor the earth’s temp. patterns; thermal imaging; most remote controls of digital devices)
thermal infrared
used to detect and locate new bodies in space (Infrared waves allow us to track and monitor the earth’s temp. patterns; thermal imaging; most remote controls of digital devices)
far (thermal) infrared
ultraviolet waves
are present in sunlight; they constitute around 10% of the total electromagnetic radiation or EM radiation emanating from the sun.
UV waves
have shorter wavelength and greater energy; they also placed on the higher frequency spectrum; and it could also damage or harm the skin as it might cause sunburn and even affect the human being.
UV waves
located at the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum; the section of the EM spectrum that is optically visible for the human eye; every EM light is counted as light so, it is known as _______ _______.
visible light
located at the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum; the section of the EM spectrum that is optically visible for the human eye; every EM light is counted as light so, it is known as _______ _______.
visible light
