Waves

Waves

1. Mechanical:A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.

2. Electromagnetical: This el electromagnetic waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field

3. Wave Behavior: Wave behave in different types, for example: Reflection, refraction, wave interference, diffraction, standing wave

4. Electromagnetic Spectrum:The electromagnetic spectrum is the term used by scientists to describe the entire range of light that exists.

5. Range of Electromagnetic Waves: Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength . Visible light has a wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm

6. Radio Waves: Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light.

7. Microwaves: are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter

8. Infrared waves are electromagnetic radiation of a particular wavelength or color that we have named 'infrared

9. Visible Light Waves: Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, as are radio waves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and microwaves.

10. Ultraviolet (UV) is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm , with a corresponding frequency of approximately 30 PHz)to 400 nm 750 THz, shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays.
