Document Summary

Electromagnetic radiation: form of energy transmission in which electric and magnetic fields are propagated as waves through empty space or a medium. Produced by accelerating electrically charged particles ( ex. A wake is a disturbance that transmits energy through space or a material medium. Crest: high points where the rope is at the greatest height above the center line. Through: low points, where the rope is at the greatest dept below the center of the line. Amplitude: maximum height above or below the center of the line. Wavelength: distance between the top of the two successive crests ( , m) Frequency: # of crests or through that pass through a point in a given period of time ( , Hz, s-1 - , # of events or cycles per sec) Product of and = speed ( how far the wave front travels in a unit of time)
