A wave in which vibrations are perpendicular to the direction of travel

Electromagnetic radiation/waves

A transverse wave made of perpendicular changing electric and magnetic fields which can propagate through space without the need of a medium

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum with the shortest wavelength and highest frequencies

Infrared (IR) Radiation

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and red light; produced by sources of heat and not visible to the human eye

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum with the longest wavelength after radio waves

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum with the longest wavelength, lowest frequencies and lowest energies

Ultraviolet Radiation

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and x-rays, produced by the Sun

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum between 700nm and 400nm; it is the only region that can be detected by our eyes

The region of the electromagnetic spectrum between UV and gamma rays; they have the second shortest wavelength and second highest frequencies

Light emitted from the Sun

The radiation emitted from the Sun is mostly visible light, infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation

The phenomenon where all the light at a surface is reflected with no refraction. It occurs when light moves from a medium of a higher refractive index to a medium of a lower refractive index

To cause a wave (light, sound, etc.) or particle to bounce back off a surface

A measure of how much slower light travels through a medium compared to a vacuum
