Waves

Waves

1. mechanical

   • all types of sounds
     • music and spoken language, ocean waves
   • Mechanical waves propagate through a medium
     • They cannot travel through a vacuum like space

2. electromagnetic

   • Light waves come in all forms depending on how spread out the wave peaks are.
     • Electromagnetic waves propagate energy forward, but do not use a medium. This is why light can reach Earth from the Sun
   • Waves propagate in different shapes, depending on if they are mechanical or electromagnetic.

3. visible lights waves

   • a form of electromagnetic radiation and wave length that can be seen by the eyes,

4. Infrared waves

   • Electromagnetic radiation of a wave length of infrared color

5. Microwaves

   • Electromagnetic waves that have wavelengths longer than those terahearts

6. Radio waves

   • Electromagnetic radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than the infrared light.

7. Range of electromagnetic waves

   • Electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies including ultra violet and rays.

8. Electromagnetic Spectrum

   • The range of the frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths

9. Ultra violet waves

   • Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 10 nm to 400nm

10. X-Ray waves

    • They have wavelengths ranging from plcometers to 10 nanometers corresponding to frequencies
