100
the only wave on the spectrum that you can see
What is visible light?
100
the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough on a wave
What is wavelength?
100
when light bounces off of an object
What is reflection?
100
plants take in light and transform it to this kind of energy
What is chemical energy?
100
this type of energy transfer involves the movement of electromagnetic waves
What is radiation?
200
this happens to the frequency of a wave as you move from radio to gamma waves
What is increasing?
200
the distance from the crest of a wave to the trough
What is height in waves?
200
when light is bent
What is refraction?
200
Solar energy transforms into this energy when it is trapped in your car.
What is heat/thermal energy?
200
it has the most thermal energy of two beakers (one is 90 degrees C and the other is 20 degrees C)
What is the 90 degree beaker?
300
this happens to the wavelength of waves as you move from radio to gamma waves on the spectrum
What is decreasing?
300
skinny waves have a higher this or this
What is frequency or energy?
300
light slows down through this kind of medium/material
What is a denser material/medium?
300
Animals transform food into this kind of energy in order for their bodies to move.
What is kinetic energy?
300
This beaker has the least kinetic energy of two 100 degree C beakers (one is 50 ml and one is 200 ml)
What is the 50 ml beaker?
400
The electromagnetic wave that is the longest and has the lowest frequency
What is a radio wave?
400
distance from the crest to the rest or the rest to the trough
What is amplitude?
400
sound does this when it moves through dense material
What is speeds up?
400
this is a measure of the average speeds of the particles that make up an object
What is temperature?
400
this transfer of energy involves the movement of air and water currents
What is convection?
500
a diagram that shows the types of electromagnetic waves in order of wavelength and frequency.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
500
this wave has the highest frequency
What is the gamma wave?
500
when all of light is taken in and nothing is reflected, it is this
What is absorbed?
500
You can't see this kind of energy and it moves in waves.
What is electromagnetic energy?
500
this type of energy transfer involves touch
What is conduction?
