  1. 9th- Chapter 12 & 13 Vocab. Review

  2. A system of satellites, ground monitoring stations, and receivers that determine your exact location at or above Earth’s surface. Global Positioning System (GPS)

  3. Radio waves with wavelengths of less than about 30 cm microwaves

  4. Particle that electromagnetic waves sometimes behave like. Photon

  5. Made by vibrating electric charges and can travel through space where matter is not present. Electromagnetic Waves

  6. Low-frequency electromagnetic waves with wavelengths longer than about 1 mm. Radio Waves

  7. Electromagnetic waves that have a wavelength between about 1mm and 750 billionths of a meter. Infrared Waves

  8. Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between about 400 billionths and 10 billionths of a meter. Ultraviolet waves

  9. The specific frequency of the electromagnetic wave that a radio station is assigned. Carrier Wave

  10. Electromagnetic wave with no mass and no charge that travels at the speed of light and is usually emitted with alpha or beta particles from a decaying atomic nucleus; has a wavelength less than about 10 trillionths. Gamma ray

  11. The range of electromagnetic waves that you can detect with your eyes. Visible Light

  12. The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave. Radiant Energy

  13. A sealed vacuum tube in which one or more beams of electrons are produced. Cathode-ray tube

  14. Transmits one radio signal and receives another signal from a base unit. Transceiver

  15. Occurs when light traveling from one medium to another is completely reflected at the boundary between the two materials. Total internal reflection

  16. Materials that allow some light to pass through them but you cannot see clearly through them. Translucent

  17. Light from an ordinary light that can contain more than one wavelength, and its electromagnetic waves are not aligned. Incoherent light

  18. An image of a distant object produced by the refraction of light through air layers of different densities. Mirage

  19. Transmit almost all of the light striking them so you can see objects clearly through them. Transparent

  20. Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between about 10 billionths of a meter and 10 trillionths of a meter, that are often used for medical imaging. X-rays

  21. Light that is generated by heating a piece of metal until it glows. Incandescent light

  22. Uses phosphors to convert ultraviolet radiation to visible light. Fluorescent light

  23. Light of only one wavelength that travels with its crests and troughs aligned. Coherent light

  24. Light whose waves vibrate in only one direction. Polarized light

  25. Only absorbs and reflects light- no light passes through it. Opaque

  26. A technique that produces a hologram- a complete three dimensional photographic image of an object. Holography

  27. A property of the material that indicates how much the speed of light in the material is reduced. Index of refraction

  28. A colored material that is used to change the color of other substances. Pigment
