When electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by a material the energy it carries has to go somewhere. When lower energy waves, like radio and infrared waves, are absorbed there can be an increase in temperature of the absorbing material. Higher energy waves, like x-ray and gamma waves, can actually permanently damage or change materials. Learn about the different types of electromagnetic waves and how their energies can influence their effects on objects.
In this online lesson you will learn how to compare measurements that have different units.
In this unit you will learn how to convert between common metric units of measure.
By the end of this course you will:
Other objects in the solar system are discussed in this online textbook viz. asteroids, meteorites, comets and dwarf planets.
By the end of this unit you will be able to:
This lesson explores appropriate units for metric measurement.
An online activity which will test your understanding of metric measurements.
An explanation of wave interference and solution of a few examples to find the value of the total wave when two wave pulses overlap
