What |produces |electromagnetic |waves? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Acceleration |of |electric |
charges |of |moving |electric |and |magnetic |fields



What |are |electromagnetic |waves |composed |of? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Pure |energy, |contain |
no |matter |and |don't |require |medium |for |transmission |as |they |travel |through |space



What |does |it |mean |to |have |pure |energy, |as |electromagnetic |waves |have? |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER✔✔-No |matter |and |don't |require |a |medium |for |transmission |as |they |travel |through |
space



How |are |elctromagnetic |waves |grouped? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Quantum |energy, |
wavelength |and |frequency |according |to |electromagnetic |spectrum



What |are |pulsed |short |wave |diathermy? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Electromagnetic |energy |
found |in |lower-frequency |waves |that |correspond |to |mid-range |wave |frequencies |of |visible |
light



How |does |electromagnetic |waves |work? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Increase |energy |absoprtion, |
tissue |temperate |and |local |circulation

,What |are |the |5 |characteristics |of |electromagnetic |waves? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Waves |of |
energy |that |travels |through |space



Composed |of |pure |energy, |don't |contain |matter



no |medium |required



Electromagnetic |spectrum



Effect |matter |through |which |they |travel

microwaves



Infrared



Visable |light



Ultraviolet |light



X-rays



Gamma |Rays



What |are |the |physical |properties |of |electromagnetic |waves? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
Undetected |by |human |body

,Causes |physiological |changes |via |interaction |with |electrical |charges



Increases |energy |accumulation |increased |temperature |and |circulation



Linear |propagation |of |radiant |energy



Can |be |reflected, |deflected |and |absorbed



What |are |the |4 |laws |that |govern |electromagnetic |effects? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Grotthuss |
Draper |Law



Inverse |Square |Law



Cosine |Law



Bunsen |Roscoe |Law |of |reciprocity



What |is |the |Grotthuss-Draper |Law? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Different |wavelengths |produce |
different |

effects |and |the |extent |of |those |effects |is |dependent |on |the |amount |of |energy |absorbed |in |the

tissue.



What |is |the |clinical |application |of |the |Grotthuss-Draper |Law? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-
Consider |wavelength |of |electromagnetic |energy |device, |since |it |changes |tissue |depth

, What |is |the |Inverse |Square |Law? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Intensity |of |wave |varies |inversely |
with |the |square |distant |of |the |source |of |the |radiant |energy |from |absorbent |tissue.



What |is |the |clinical |implications |of |the |inverse |square |law? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Therapist |
should |take |into |account |the |distance |of |energy |source |during |treatment



IF |the |distance |of |diathermy |drum |from |patient's |skin |is |reduced |in |half, |then |what |happens |
to |the |intentisy |of |treatment |dosage? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Increases |by |4 |times



What |is |the |Cosine |Law? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Maximum |absorption |of |energy |occurs |
when |the |source |is |at |a |right |angle |from |surface.



What |is |the |clinical |application |of |the |cosine |law? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Place |pt |at |right |
angle |from |source |of |electromagentic |modality



What |is |the |Bunsen |Rascoe |Law |of |Reciprocity? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Certain |biological |
effect |is |directly |proportional |to |total |energy |dose |irrespective |of |administered |regime.



What |is |the |clinical |implication |of |the |Bunsen |Rascoe |Law |of |Reciprocity? |- |CORRECT |
ANSWER✔✔-Therapist |must |select |and |monitor |proper |dosage |and |exposure |time |based |on |
indicated |conditions



What |are |the |various |forms |of |light |therapy? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Laser, |light |emitting |
diode, |supra-luminous |light |emitting |diode, |UV |light



What |is |Photobiostiumulation? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Primary |mechanism |of |action |
affecting |biological |structures |from |tissue |level |to

cellular |level |and |
