New cards

UV radiation

is also used in sterilizing water from drinking fountains.

2
New cards

longer wavelength

The infrared waves produce heat and include radiation emitted by fire, the sun, and other heat- producing objects.

3
New cards

Radiation

is the transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium.

4
New cards

Gamma rays

can destroy living cells.

5
New cards

Medium

and high- frequency waves are used for broadcasting by local radio stations.

6
New cards

Terrestrial sources

include lighting, nuclear explosions, and radioactive decay.

7
New cards

Faradays Law

: The changing magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular to each other and to their direction of propagation.

8
New cards

Ultraviolet UV lamps

are used by banks to check the signature on a passbook.

9
New cards

white light

When passes through a prism, it is separated into its constituent colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

10
New cards

form of energy

Is a(n) that acts by removing electrons from atoms and molecules of materials that include air, water, and living tissue.

11
New cards

magnetic attraction

He (Andre- Marie Ampere) produced a(n) and repulsion without the use of any magnets.

12
New cards

High Frequency

: waves can be reflected by the ione sphere.

13
New cards

EM waves

are transverse waves.

14
New cards

Short wavelength x rays

can penetrate even through metals.

15
New cards

Gamma rays

are used to treat cancer through the process called radiotherapy.

16
New cards

UV radiation

in sunlight produces vitamin D.

17
New cards

Radiation

is particularly associated with nuclear medicine and the use of nuclear energy, along with x- rays, is "ionizing ".

18
New cards

Gamma rays

are emitted by only the most energetic cosmic objects such as pulsars, neutrons stars, supernovas, and black holes.

19
New cards

Gamma rays

lie at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum.

20
New cards

Faradays Law

The changing magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular to each other and to their direction of propagation

21
New cards

Low Frequency

waves are suitable for communication over long distances

22
New cards

High Frequency

waves can be reflected by the ione sphere

23
