Mechanical Waves
The type of wave where particles move in the same direction (parallel) that the wave is traveling.
What is a Longitudinal Wave
The type of wave where particles move parallel to the direction the wave travels
What is kinetic energy
Anything that is made of particles has mass and takes up space is
What is matter
All living things are made of this small organism. It is the basic building block of life
What is a cell
This is the only part of the EM spectrum that humans can see
what is visual light
The part of a Longitudinal Wave where the particles are close together
compression
What happens to potential energy as an object rolls down a hill?
It decreases
When a solid is melting it means the particles are moving closer or farther
farther apart
Which organelle is responsible for producing energy in a cell?
What is the mitochondria
Which electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelengths
what is a gamma ray
A sound is high-pitched but quiet. describe the frequency
high frequency
When a ball rolls down the hill at the bottom of the hill this energy is the highest
Kinetic energy
This is the phase change where things go from a liquid to a gas
what is evaporation
This part of the cell is responsible for making energy
What is the mitochindria
What is Infared Radiation
This part of the wave is measured from peak to peak
wavelength
What is potential energy
In this state of matter particles are the closest together
What is a solid
This part of the cell controls all the other organells and tells them what to do
What is the nucleus
This wave has the LONGEST wavelength
what is a radio wave
this is the thing a wave carries from place to place
When energy/heat is being absorbed or going into an object it is called a _______ reaction
Endothermic
Heat travels from _______ to _______ objects
hot to cold objects
What is the rough ER
EM waves do not need a medium to travel through because they have special particles called _____________
Photons
