Resource summary
Waves
MECHANICAL WAVES - require a medium to travel through and is made when a source of energy causes a vibration.
Annotations:
Must travel through a *medium* and can not travel in space. Medium: The matter (solid, liquid, & gas) a wave travels through.
Transverse Waves - wave that causes the medium to vibrate at right angles to the direction of the wave.
Annotations:
Wave Travels: down to up ↑ Energy Travels: left to right →
Surface Waves - wave that travels along a surface separating two media.
Annotations:
Wave Travels: circular motion (both → and ↑) Energy Travels: left to right →
Longitude Waves - wave in which vibration of medium is parallel to the direction wave travels.
Annotations:
Wave Travels: left to right → Energy Travels: left to right →
ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES - come from the sun and require no medium.
Annotations:
These waves don't necessarily have to go through matter; this means they can travel through space.
Radio Waves
Annotations:
- The LONGEST wave length - The LEAST energy and frequency - The SAFEST type of wave
Microwaves
Infrared Waves
Visible Light Waves
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
Annotations:
ROY G BIV
X-Rays
Gamma Rays
Annotations:
- The SHORTEST wave - The MOST energy - The MOST DANGEROUS type of wave
