Transverse and Longitudinal 1 of 18 What are transverse waves formed of? Crests/peaks and troughs 2 of 18 What are longitudinal waves formed of? rarefractions and compressions 3 of 18 Which way is the movement going in transverse waves? up and down 4 of 18 Which way is the movement going in longitudinal waves? along it 5 of 18 Which way is the energy going in transverse waves? along it 6 of 18 Which way is the energy going in longitudinal waves? along it 7 of 18 What is a wavelength? units the measurement between two identical points on the wave, in meters 8 of 18 What is frequency? units the number of waves that pass per second, in hertz 9 of 18 What is amplitude? the amount of energy in the wave/ how high the wave is 10 of 18 What is a oscillation? one complete wave length 11 of 18 What is the electromagnetic Spectrum? Itsa a range of wavelengths and frequencies. 12 of 18 What is the order of Electromagnetic spectrum? (long to short wavelength) Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infra-red, Visible light, Ultra-violet, X-rays, Gamma Rays 13 of 18 What are the two things that electromagnetic waves have in common? They are transverse waves and they travel at the same speed in a vacuum - speed of light 14 of 18 What size wavelength do low frequency ECM waves have? Long 15 of 18 What size wavelength do high frequency ECM waves have? Short 16 of 18 Do ECM waves need matter to travel through? no 17 of 18 Can all ECM waves be refracted, reflected and diffracted? Yes 18 of 18
