Unit 2.5 EM Review

Front

What happens to the temperature if more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere?

Back

Temperature goes up.

Front

What is the measurement of the distance the particles move from the resting point (origin line) of the wave?

Back

Amplitude.

Front

What shows the wavelength of a wave?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests of a wave.

Front

Order the following in order of increasing energy: Radio waves, Microwaves, Ultraviolet light, Gamma rays.

Back

Radio waves, Microwaves, Ultraviolet light, Gamma rays.

Front

What is transferred in waves?

Back

Energy.

Front

Define greenhouse gases.

Back

Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The greenhouse effect is the warming of Earth's surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases.

Front

What is wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of the same phase in a wave, such as crest to crest.

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.
