Basics of Sound and Light
This is what sound and light waves are a transfer of.
What is energy?
Something that no light can shine through.
What is opaque?
An object that provides a clear reflection.
What is a mirror?
This happens when an object vibrates at its natural frequency.
Resonance
The type of light that contains all colors.
What is white light?
This is how sound waves travel.
What is vibrating through particles.
Back and forth (longitudinal) also accepted.
An example of something that can bend white light into a spectrum of colors.
What is a:
Prism
Raindrop
When light is passing through something.
What is transmission?
This is how well a material allows sound to travel through it.
What is sound transmission?
The term for the darkest part of the shadow.
What is an umbra?
What is the electromagnetic spectrum.
Two examples of translucent objects.
What are: Frosted Glass
Sunglasses Tinted windows
Stained Glass Oil
Wax Paper Curtains
The definition of refraction.
What is when light passes through something and bends.
When resonance is occurring, what is happening to the sound?
What is it is getting louder?
The reason sound travels better through a solid compared to a gas.
What is when the particles are closer together they do not have to travel as far to vibrate/hit into each other.
The acronym for the colors of visible light.
What is ROYGBIV?
What are different wavelengths/frequencies?
An example of an object scientists use to refract light.
What is a:
Telescope
Magnify Glass
Microscope
An example of how we use poor sound transmitters in everyday life.
What is:
Carpet/curtains used to reduce noise.
Foam packaging used to reduce noise.
Anything soft being used to reduce noise.
These are the three primary colors of the subtractive color system.
What is cyan, magenta, and yellow?
The explanation of why sound can travel through walls.
(be specific)
What is because the air particles vibrate and hit the wall, causing wall particles to vibrate and vibrate the air on the other side.
The color system that when all colors are mixed it creates brown/black.
What is the subtractive color system?
An example of something that uses reflection and refraction.
What is a:
Camera Prisms
Telescope Raindrops
Human Eyes
The reason softer materials are poor sound transmitters.
The different types of light on the electromagnetic spectrum.
(Hint 7 different types of light)
What are: Gamma Rays
Radio Waves Visible Light
Microwaves Ultraviolet
Infrared X-Rays
