Wave speed is related to wavelength, frequency, and period by the equation wave speed = frequency x wavelength. The most commonly used wave speed is the speed of visible light, an electromagnetic wave.]]> 2017-11-03 16:27:09 UTC https://padlet.com/3049561/79az28xybel1/wish/203372226 3049561 https://padlet.com/3049561/79az28xybel1/wish/203373170 Do not conclude that sound is a transverse wave that has crests and troughs. Sound waves traveling through air are indeed longitudinal waves with compressions and rarefactions. As sound passes through air (or any fluid medium), the particles of air do not vibrate in a transverse manner]]> 2017-11-03 16:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/3049561/79az28xybel1/wish/203373170 3049561 https://padlet.com/3049561/79az28xybel1/wish/203374214 Generally, electromagnetic radiation is classified by wavelength into radio wave, microwave, terahertz (or sub-millimeter) radiation, infrared, the visible region that is perceived as light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. The behavior of EM radiation depends on its wavelength]]> 2017-11-03 16:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/3049561/79az28xybel1/wish/203374214
