Gamma rays
Highest energy waves and can kill cells
Beamline
Part five of Synchrotron
Electron gun
Part one of Synchrotron
Radio waves
low energy waves that are used to communicate over long distances through radio and television.
Linac
Part two of Synchrotron
Electromagnet
a temporary magnet consisting of a coil of wire and an iron core
Frequency
The number of complete vibrations or waves made in one second.
Electromagnetic spectrum
Complete range of wavelengths of energy radiated as electric and magnetic fields
Booster ring
Part three of Synchrotron
Wavelength
the distance between any two points to its neighbouring wave.
Electromagnetic waves
waves that transmit energy from one place to another
wave
transmit of energy without the movement of particles from one place, to another
Pitch
Variations of frequencies.
Synchrotron
a building-sized device that uses electrons accelerater to near the speed of light to produce intense electromagnetic radiation.
Amplitude
The max distance that each particle moves away from its usual resting position
Solenoid
The coil of wire in a electromagnet
Transverse waves
Waves on water in which the movement of particles travel at right angles to the direction of energy transfer
X-rays
Higher energy waves that can pass through human flesh
Permanent magnets
Magnets that retain their magnetism at all times`
Hertz
The measurement used for frequency
Compression wave
Sounds waves. The movement of particles move backwards and forwards in the same direction of energy transfer
Storage ring
Part four of Synchrotron
Experimental station
Part six of Synchrotron
Temporary magnets
Magnets that lose magnetism when removed from other magnets
