[ ] transfers an electromagnetic wave’s energy to a material. Transmission occurs when the wave passes straight through a substance. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off a boundary into its original medium.
The spacing between adjacent wave fronts is the wavelength. A wave travels at 90∘90^\circ90∘ to its wave fronts.
In v=fλv=f\lambdav=fλ, fff is constant, so lower vvv requires lower λ\lambdaλ.
The infrared detector reading.
Absorption transfers an electromagnetic wave’s energy to a material. Transmission occurs when the wave passes straight through a substance. Reflection occurs when the wave bounces off a boundary into its original medium.
