Waves in General
A word used to describe that amount of energy a wave carries.
What is amplitude?
This is the color with the longest wavelength.
What is red?
Waves that are parallel are known as
What are longitudinal waves?
The type of waves that use matter to transfer energy.
What are mechanical waves?
What is a wavelength?
the distance between crest to crest or trough to trough in a transverse wave or from compression to compression or rarefaction to rarefaction in a compressional wave.
These two colors have the highest frequencies.
What are blue/violet/indigo.
Planaria respond this way when exposed to light.
Bonus* 100 is it transverse or longitudinal
What is compression?
This happens to the amplitude when the energy decreases.
What is decreases
The frequency is known to do this during rarefaction.
What is decrease, slow down?
Waves that need no medium to travel are
What are electromagnetic waves?
A reflective sound wave is known as.
What is an echo?
FeatureS of absorption include:
An object that is porous and less dense.
This type of solid will prevent the transmission of light.
What is Opaque?
Waves used to determine types of rocks are (2)
What are reflective sound waves.
This is the relationship between wavelength and frequency.
What is the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength? (vv)
This type of material transmits mechanical waves. (2 characteristics)
An object that is porous and less dense.
This is why a stop light is made of red, yellow, green.
Longer wavelengths travel farther.
For safety reasons, these should be worn in labs utilizing lasers. When there is no longer enough for everyone, students can not do the labs due to (2)
What are safety goggles and selfish people?
A problem we all have to accept if we put up with it.
