Studied by 2 peopleMagnetic Resonance
________ imaging technology uses radio waves as an alternative to X- ray imaging.
Microwave Ovens
________ use electromagnetic waves to heat food.
Energy
________ is transferred from one particle to the next as the wave travels through the matter.
Transceiver
________: transmits one radio signal and receives another radio signal from a base unit.
Visible Light
________: The electromagnetic waves that humans can detect with their eyes.
Magnetic Fields
Because the electric and ________ vibrate at right angles to the direction the wave travels, an electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave.
Radar
________ stands for RAdio Detecting And Ranging.
Photon
________: a particle whose energy depends on the frequency of the waves.
