Matter
This is the process at work in kerosene moving up the wick of a lamp.
What is capillary action?
The measure of the average kinetic energy in a substance.
What is temperature?
The changing of a gas to a liquid.
What is condensation?
The distance from the midpoint to the crest of a wave.
What is the amplitude?
A material with electrons in the outer shell of the atoms than are loose and free to wander.
What is a conductor?
The measurement generated when we divide the mass by the volume.
What is the density?
The flow of energy from one object to another because of the temperature difference between them.
What is heat?
Melting under pressure and then refreezing of a liquid when the pressure is removed.
What is regelation?
The frequency when the period of a wave is .2 seconds.
What is 5Hz?
The product of the current and voltage in a circuit.
What is electric power?

What is transverse waves?
The flow of electric charge.
What is electric current?
An electrified gas that contains ions and free electrons.
What is plasma?
The lowest possible temperature that a substance may have.
What is absolute zero?
When the upper regions of the atmosphere are warmer than the lower regions.
What is temperature inversion?
The crest of one wave overlaps the crest of another to produce a wave of increased amplitude.
What is constructive interference (or reinforcement)?
Clusters of aligned adjacent atoms in a piece of iron.
What are magnetic domains?
The concept that a fluid will increase in speed when it goes from a wide part of a pipe to a narrow part of a pipe.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
The temperature at which the combined effects of contraction and expansion produce the smallest volume of water.
What is 4 degrees Celsius?
Heat never flows from a cold object to a hot object. (A law)
What is the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
The change in frequency of a wave due to relative motion of the source?
What is the Doppler Effect?
The phenomenon of inducing a voltage in a wire through the relative motion of a magnetic field.
