Term
Definition
Wave model of light   Describes the behaviours of light such as interference and refraction by using the characteristics of waves, wavelength, speed, frequency  
🗑
Electromagnetic radiation   Radiant energy composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, or electromagnetic waves, propagated at the speed of light in a vacuum  
🗑
Electromagnetic Waves   Waves produced by an oscillating electric charge resulting in mutually and perpendicular electric and magnetic fields  
🗑
Electric Charge   A physical property of an object that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field
