Properties of Waves
This is the height of a wave
What is amplitude?
The clear, outer layer where light starts to bend.
What is the cornea?
An electromagnetic wave that travels without a medium
What is light?
What are types of energy?
What is reflect?
The distance between crest to crest or trough to trough
What is wavelength?
The opening that allows light to enter.
What is the pupil?
This is the only part of light we can see.
What is visible light?
Light travels in this type of line.
What is straight?
To pass through clear objects like glass or water.
What is transmit?
This is the top of a wave.
What is crest?
The colored part of your eye that also controls pupil size.
What is the iris?
This type of wave has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency in the EM spectrum.
What are radio waves?
A substance that transfers light.
What is a medium?
To soak into dark or opaque materials.
What is absorb?
This is the bottom of a wave.
What is trough?
This changes light into electrical signals.
What is the retina?
These waves have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelengths in the EM Spectrum.
What are Gamma Rays?
To throw or give off.
What is emit?
To bend when moving between materials like air and water.
What is refract?
This is the amount of waves that pass a certain point in one second.
What is frequency?
These two types of cells are found in the retina and allow you to see in color and black and white.
What are cones and rods?
This color has the highest frequency.
What is violet?
Matter that does not let any light through.
What is opaque?
Matter that transmits light without scattering its particles.
What is transparent?
