also called as the ‘‘myriameter band’’, used for military communications with submarines because f their ability to penetrate saltwater up to certain depths

are used for long distance communications
low frequency waves (LF)
are commonly used for amplitude modulation (AM) broadcasting and air traffic control

used in digital audio broadcasting and mobile radio systems
very high frequency waves (VHF)

microwaves
are found between microwaves and visible light; invisible to the unaided eye but can be detected in the form of heat
infrared waves (IR)
in this year, he first recorded the thermal measurement at the far end of the red spectrum
1800, william herschel
infrared from the prefix ______ means _—
infra, below
only part of the em spectrum can be seen by unaided eye; different colors of light caused by differences in their subwavelengths
visible light
extends from violet spectra of the visible light through x-rays; most comes from sun, stars emits in all parts of the em spectrum
ultraviolet waves
least harmful of the three
UVA
most harmful, however absorbed by ozone layer
UVC
can cause sunburn because unlike IR, it causes chemical reaction on the human skin; causes skin to burn or change color; too much exposure can cause cellular damage in an organism and may cause production of free radicals in the body or even dna damage
UVB
this year, he successfully prove the existence of energy beyond the violet spectra of the vidible light, naming it ultraviolet (UV)
1801, john ritter
its region between the uv and gamma regions; wavelengths are so small, which is why energies carried x-ray and the gamma ray regions are described in electron volts (eV)
x-rays
x-rays were first observed and documented by _____- in _______
wilhelm conrad roentgen, 1895
are found at the end of the em spectrum; contains highest energy of all; produced by objects with very high energy
gamma rays
amount of energy released by atoms that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. colliding atoms to emit radiation
ionization
radiowaves, microwaves, infrared, visible light
non ionizing
ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray
ionizing
loq energy, cannot penetrate the cells of organism, effectively produce vibrations and electric current, may cause photochemical reactions such as sunburn and thermal heating, affect organism through intentionally or accidentally ingested
non ionizing
high energy, can penetrate the cells of organism, exposure may alter one's dna, can cause biological damage, dying of cells or have cellular mutations such as cancer cells, affect fast growing cells such as hair and skin
ionizing
happens when you get high amounts of radiation exposure over a very short period of time, person undergoing a cancer treatment
acute exposure
occurs when a person is exposed to a small amount of radiation over a long period of time
chronic exposure
bouncing of light rays when it hits a surface
reflection
reflection of smooth surfaces
regular/specular
reflection of rough surfaces
irregular/diffuse
states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
law of reflection
reflective surfaces made up of glass
mirrors
are flat surfaces that reflect light and form an image of an object brought in front of it
plane mirrors
car side mirror, dental mirror, solar cooker
curved mirror
periscope, kaleidescope, bathroom mirror
plane mirror
technique used at least two rays to locate and describe the image
ray diagramming technique
image appearing at the back of the mirror
virtual images
refers to the left-to-right reversal in plane mirrors
lateral inversion
have their reflective surfaces bent outward
convex mirrors
have their reflective surfaces bent inward
concave mirrors
the line cutting through the center
principal axis
actual physical center of the mirror
vertex
center of the sphere from which the mirror is taken or the geometrical center of the mirror
center of curvature
distance from the center of curvature to the vertex of the mirror
radius of curvature
the midpoint of radius of curvature
focus
formed when rays converge
real
formed when rays diverge
virtual
right side up
upright
upside down
inverted
ratio of the image dimension to the object dimensions
magnification
converges rays of lightthat are traveling; thick middle, thin uppen and lower edges
convex lens
diverges rays of light that are traveling; thin middle, thick upper and lower edges
concave lens
C for

F for
focus
P for

f for

history tells us that magnets have come from __________
lodestones
where does the word lodestone from
anglo-saxon word ‘‘leading stone’’
they used in this time magnets as compass
chinese, middle ages
come in different shapes and sizes
magnets
magnetic materials are usually made up of metals such as
iron, cobalt, nickel, alloys
3 classification of magnets
permanent magnets, ferromagnets, electromagnets
they do not easily lose their magnetic properties; naturally occuring; creates own persistent magnetic field
permanent magnet
lose their magnetic properties after some time; when magnetic field is removed, they also lose their magnetic abilities (nails, iron objects)
ferromagnets
produced by the electric current flowing through a wire
electromagnets
magnets produce a ________
magnetic field
it is a region of space where a magnetic force is felt
magnetic field
lines to indicate the magnetic field
magnetic field lines
magnetic field characteristics
lines always originate from the magnetic north pole; field lines do not cross one another; the closer the magnetic field lines to one another, the stronger the magnetic field
‘‘like poles repel, opposite poles attract’’
basic magnetic rule
are produced by positive and negative charges
electric fields
in 1820, a danish scientist, tried to prove that electricity in entirely different from magnetism; accidentally discovered electromagnetism
hans christian orsted (1777-1851)
flowing charges produce current
electromagnetism
the direction of the forceon this current-carrying wire can be demonstrated by using the _________
right-hand rule
magnetitude of the force can be determined by using
F=ILB
when the current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field, the wire becomes an _________;
electromagnet
in this law, it is not only the change in the magnetic field that can produce an electric current but also the area where the magnetic field is perpendicularly applied; if the wire is moving, it causes electric current where the magnetic field is applied
faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
if the magnetic flux changes, then ____
electromagnet induction occurs
it has the ability to produce electricity
conductor
electrical to mechanical
electric motor
mechanical to electrical
generator
english scientist who observed electromagnetic induction by introducing a magnet into a coil of copper wire, producing a deflection in the galvanometer
michael faraday (1791-1867)
the changing magnetic field will induce a voltage, causing the current to flow through the wire
electromotive force (emf)
lenz’s law of electromagnetic induction, formulated by a _
german scientist, heinrich friedrich emil lenz (1804-1865)
this year, states that the direction of the current is induced ina conductor bya changing magnetic field, such that the magnetic field is created by the induced current opposes the initial changing magnetic field that produced it
1834
magnet and current is =
opposite
2 types of generator
alternating current(ac) and direct current(dc)
difference of alternating current(ac) and direct current(dc)
alternating current(ac) - changing; direct current(dc) - dili mag change
