Mechanical Electromagnetic True or False? Electromagnetic waves need a material or medium to travel through like air or water. True False In the above image, why is the reflected beam of light waves a faded red color? The light waves are being refracted The light waves are reflecting off of a black surface The surface is absorbing part of the light waves What type of wave is above? transverse wave longitudinal wave The electromagnetic spectrum is types of radiation that are organized by the amounts of _ that they carry. light energy waves filters Place the words into the correct categories. Radio Waves longest wavelength and is used with cell phones Microwave Waves used in radar systems to detect how fast an object is moving Infrared Rays the invisible heat that you feel from electric ovens Visible Light red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet Ultraviolet Waves (UV) can be harmful to your skin if no sunscreen is used X-ray Waves able to travel through most materials and are absorbed by bones Gamma Rays shortest wavelength and can be used to treat tumors
