A packet of energy that exhibits particle and wave properties.

A treatment using gamma photons to destroy tumors with precision.

An arrangement of all types of electromagnetic radiation by wavelength.

The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in a wave.

The number of wave crests that pass a point per second, measured in hertz.

Constant speed at which all electromagnetic radiation travels, approximately 3.00 × 10^8 m/s.

Describes the relationship between speed (c), wavelength (λ), and frequency (ν): c = λν.

Everyday examples include radio, microwaves, and visible light.

A relationship where one value increases as the other decreases, specifically between wavelength and frequency.

Energy of electromagnetic radiation is directly related to frequency; higher frequency means higher energy.

Ultraviolet light has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than infrared light.

Radiation made up of waves of electric and magnetic fields; includes visible light, infrared, and UV rays.

The spectrum of light emitted by an atom when electrons lose energy and return to lower energy states.

Colors like blue or red correspond to different energy levels; blue has higher energy than red.
