Electromagnetic spectrum
Electromagnetic spectrum
Electromagnetic Spectrum is the entire range of all electromagnetic radiation. Scientists use Electromagnetic Spectrum by using radio waves as communication, infrared for thermal imaging visible light for sight, and higher-energy X-rays and gamma rays.
What is Amplitude?
What is Amplitude?
Amplitude is the maximum displacement or intensity of a wave, measuring the wave's energy.
What is Frequency?
What is Frequency?
Frequency is the measurement of how often a repeating of an event occurs.
Wavelengths
Wavelengths
A wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave.
The waves that have the longest wavelengths are radio waves.
The waves that have the shortest wavelengths are gamma rays.
Explain how the wavelengths are related to energy:
Wavelengths are related to energy because shorter wavelengths carry higher energy, while longer wavelengths carry lower energy.
Which waves have the highest energy? Which waves have the lowest energy?
The waves that have the highest energy are gamma rays.
And the waves that have the lowest energy are radio waves.
