EMR

A radiation emitted by a source and transferred through space

EMR

Also known as Non-Particulate

EMR

Energy disturbance

EMR

PROPERTIES OF __ _ __ It travels even without a medium

PHOTON

Smallest unit/bundle of electromagnetic radiation

PHOTON

A single wave 

PHOTON

__ Also known as “Quantum” which has the properties of Frequency (f), Wavelength (a), Velocity (v), and Amplitude 

f, w, v, a

photon has the properties of (4)

Range

the maximum distance traveled by radiation

Oscillation/One Cycle

one complete movement of a wave from its starting point, through a crest and a trough, and back to the starting point.

Crest

the highest point of a wave above its rest (equilibrium) position.

Amplitude

refers to one half the range from the crest to the valley over which the sine wave varies

Velocity

which is equal to the speed of light

Wavelength

distance from one crest to another

Frequency

 rate of rise and fall of a sine wave

sinusoidal wave

geometric waveform that oscillates (moves up, down, or side-to-side) periodically

m

new unit of wavelength

Angstrom

old unit of wavelength

Hz

unit of frequency

1/s

1 Hz is equal to

Cycle

refers to one complete oscillation

Period

time required to complete a cycle

Wave Equation

States the mathematical relationship between the speed (v) of a wave and its wavelength (λ), and frequency (f)

c=fλ

wave equation
