    This document provides vocabulary terms related to waves and light, including definitions and instructions to draw pictures for each term. There are 25 terms from the electromagnetic spectrum defined, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Students are asked to match each vocabulary word with its correct definition and draw a picture to illustrate it. The terms cover concepts such as wavelength, frequency, reflection, refraction, absorption, and the properties of different types of electromagnetic waves and their interactions with matter.

    Electromagnetic Spectrum
    WORD

    Electromagnetic Wave
    DEFINITION

    1.

    Slightly shorter wavelengths than


    violet light.

    2.

    The distance over which the waves


    shape repeats and is measured by
    the distance from one point on a
    wave to an identical point later on
    the wave.
    All the colors of the EM spectrum
    we can see.

    3.
    4.

    A disturbance that transfers energy


    from one place to another.

    5.

    Disturbances in electric and


    magnetic fields.

    6.

    Light that has slightly longer


    wavelengths than red light.
    The change in direction of a wave
    as it passes from one medium into
    another at an angle.
    Tells you how many cycles occur in
    an amount of time, most commonly
    1 second.
    In this kind of wave, articles move
    back and forth in the same direction
    that the wave travels, or parallel to
    the wave.
    The material through which a wave
    travels.

    7.
    8.
    9.

    10.
    11.
    12.

    In this kind of wave, particles move


    perpendicularly to the direction the
    wave travels.
    Materials do not let any light pass
    through them.

    PICTURE

    13.

    Matter that transmits light.

    14.

    Waves with the longest


    wavelengths. Used to broadcast
    many signals, including radio,
    television, and alarm systems.
    Waves that require a medium.

    15.
    16.

    The transfer of light energy to


    matter.

    17.
    18.

    The range of frequencies (or


    wavelengths) that an EM wave can
    have.
    The bouncing of light off a surface.

    19.

    The speed at which a wave travels.

    20.

    Can be used to treat illnesses and in


    making medical images.

    21.

    A measure of how far particles in


    the medium move away from their
    normal rest position.
    Can pass through most living
    tissue, but are absorbed by bones.

    22.
    23.

    24.
    25.

    Despite their name, not the shortest


    EM waves. Besides heating food,
    microwaves are used in cellular
    phones.
    The degree of highness or lowness
    of a tone.
    Materials transmit light but do not
    let the light travel straight through.
