EM Waves and Light

What is a vacuum? 

• A space with only air in it
• A space with NO matter at all present
• A machine you use to do your chores

Frequency is a measure of...

• length of the wave
• height of the wave
• number of waves a second
• number of waves an hour

Wave with the longest wavelength

• microwave
• radio
• gamma
• visible light

EM waves  

• Must travel through a vacuum
• Can travel through a medium or a vacuum
• Are the same type of wave as mechanical waves
• Can only travel through a vacuum

Visible light is 

• radiation
• light
• a way to transfer energy
• all of these

All EM waves travel at  

• different speeds
• the speed of sound
• the speed of light
• the speed of a vacuum
