P1.6.1 The Electromagnetic Spectrum 0.0 / 5 ? PhysicsElectromagneticwavesGCSEAQA Created by: MaddiCreated on: 02-05-14 18:57 What are the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum? Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared radiation, Light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and Gamma radiation. 1 of 8 How can we calculate the frequency of the electromagnetic waves? frequency = wave speed - wavelength 2 of 8 How can we calculate the speed of the electromagnetic waves? speed = frequency x wavelength 3 of 8 How can we calculate the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves? wavelength = frequency - speed 4 of 8 How does the size of the wavelength of the wave affect the frequency? The shorter the wavelength of the waves, the higher their frequency is. 5 of 8 How does the frequency of a wave affect the energy of the waves? The energy of the waves increases as the frequency increases. 6 of 8 What speed do all electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at? 300 million m/s 7 of 8 What are electromagnetic waves? Electric and magnetic disturbances that transfers energy from one place to another. 8 of 8
