Electromagnetic Waves

Match the vocabulary word with its definition. electromagnetic wave transverse wave that involves the transfer of electric & magnetic energy electromagnetic radiation energy that electromagnetic waves transfer through matter or space Fill in the banks. Electromagnetic waves can move through space or medium at the speed of light.The electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave vibrate at a right angle to one another,The two different models needed to explain the behaviors or electromagnetic waves are the wave model and the particle model.All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum, but they have different wavelengths and different frequencies.Waves with the longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies. Waves with the shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies. The higher the frequency, the higher the energy. Match each electromagnetic wave with its description. microwaves used for radar to detect distance and speed visible light the only waves we can see ultraviolet rays can damage cells - can cause burns and cancer radio waves used for broadcasting - sent out from the station4 gamma rays most penetrating of electromagnetic waves x-rays penetrates most matter but not bone or lead infrared rays used in heat lamps Electromagnetic Spectrum Label the electromagnetic spectrum in the correct order. radio waves microwaves infrared rays visible light ultraviolet rays x-rays gamma rays To mark a word click its first letter then click its last.
