Integrated Physical Science Vocabulary C165 WGU, Top Exam Questions with accurate answers, graded A+ Wave - ✔✔-A repeating disturbance that transports energy from one place to another is call... ed a Hint, displayed below Mechanical wave - ✔✔-can travel only through matter. In other words, they require a medium to transport the energy of the wave. (ocean & sound waves, vibration) Electromagnetic wave - ✔✔-do not require a medium to transport the energy of the wave. They can travel both through matter and through a vacuum (in the absence of matter.) An electromagnetic wave is a combination of an oscillating electric field and an oscillating magnetic field. (EM radiation, light, photons) Radio wave - ✔✔-have the longest wavelengths of all EM radiation, lowest frequency, lowest energy of all EMs Microwave - ✔✔-have wavelengths that are shorter than those of radio waves - have higher frequencies and energies than radio waves, but lower than those of infrared radiation. Infrared wave - ✔✔-(IR) has wavelengths that are longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. -frequencies are higher than those of microwaves, but lower than those of visible light. -Although we cannot see this radiation, we can feel it through our skin as heat. Visible light - ✔✔-is a very small portion of the EM spectrum. It includes all of the wavelengths of light that the average unaided human eye can detect. Ultraviolet wave - ✔✔-(UV) has wavelengths that are just shorter than those of visible violet light, but longer than those of X-rays. -The greatest source of UV radiation on the earth is the sun. -Ultraviolet radiation is invisible to the human eye. However, so [Show More]
