1
New cards

formula for wave length

2
New cards

speed of transverse waves

is equal to the product of wavelength and frequency. It describes how fast the wave travels through a medium.

3
New cards

how to find frequency of the wave

divide the speed by wavelength

4
New cards

speed of the wave

frequency x wavelength

5
New cards

how to find the period of the wave

The period of a wave is the time it takes for one complete cycle to pass a given point, which can be calculated as the reciprocal of the frequency.

6
New cards

what si unit is frequency

The SI unit of frequency is hertz (Hz), which represents one cycle per second.

7
New cards

difference between longituidinal waves and transverse waves

Longitudinal waves oscillate in the same direction as their propagation, while transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to their direction of travel. Examples include sound waves for longitudinal and light waves for transverse.

8
New cards

list the em wave spectrum in order from increasing of frequency to decreasing

The electromagnetic wave spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, ordered from lowest to highest frequency.

9
New cards

what is gamma rays use for

Gamma rays are used in medical imaging and cancer treatment, as well as in industrial radiography to inspect materials.

10
New cards

what is visible light used for

Visible light is used for illumination, photosynthesis in plants, and enabling sight in living organisms.

11
New cards

statelite tv use which em wave

Satellite TV typically uses microwave frequencies within the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit data.

13
New cards

hairy wave

Hairy wave refers to a type of electromagnetic wave that resembles the appearance of hair, often used in discussions about wave behavior in certain contexts.

14
New cards

abel wave

A type of electromagnetic wave used in the propagation of signals, particularly in communication systems, with properties optimized for minimal distortion.
