Daily Reflection Prompt: What is the crest of the wave? What is the trough of a wave? Draw a wave and label crest and trough of a wave.
Wave A wave is a disturbance that transfer ene_____ from place to place. Who can give me examples of waves? rgy
Is light a wave? Yes But why?
Picture of Light Wave Image of a pulse of light that is 2.5 billionths of a millionth of a second long
Energy In science, energy is defined as the ability to do wo___. rk
Medium The material through which a wave tra____ is called a medium Who can give me examples of medium? vels
Does Light Waves need a medium? Scientist first thought that Light needed to travel through a medium. So they invented the idea of aether in space. They look for aether in outer space but they found nothing. So, Light Waves can travel without a medium even in a Vacuum of outer space.
Crest Hi___ point of a wave is called a crest gh
Trough L___ point of a wave is called a trough ow
Amplitude Amplitude is the max______ distance that the particles of medium carrying the wave move away from their rest positions. Which rope has higher amplitude? imum
Wavelength The distance between two corresp______ parts of a wave is its wavelength. Which rope has longer wavelength? onding
Frequency Wave frequency is the num_____complete waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time ber
Electromagnetic Wave An electromagnetic wave consists of vibrating electric and magnetic field that move through space at the speed of lig____ ht
What are some examples of electromagnetic waves? Radio Waves TV Signals Microwaves Infrared rays Light Ultraviolet rays X-Ray
How fast do electromagnetic waves travel? It is the fastest thing in the universe 300,000 km per second 186,000 miles per second It takes 8 minutes for light to travel from the sun to the earth It takes 3 million years for light to travel from the nearest galaxy (andromeda) to the earth
Electromagnetic Wavelength
How do we use Radio Waves? Radio & TV signals Microwave Oven Radar MRI Cell phone
Using Microwaves Why do you see sparks you put metal objects in a microwave? Because of the build up of electrical energy in the metal The long wave length of Microwaves can pass right through glass and plastic. That is why microwaves do not heat glass and plastic containers.
How do we use Infrared Rays? Conventional Oven Heat Lamps Thermograms
Visible Light makes up only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum
