Frequency.
What professional sports league do Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark play in?

Process where electrons release energy.
Emission.
Who are the current judges of American Idol?

The position of a wave if there was no energy being transferred.
Resting point.
Which wave on the EM spectrum is visible to the human eye?
Visible light.
What happens, as the frequency of a wave increases?
The wavelength increases, and energy decreases.
Location of electrons in an atom. There is less energy closer to the nucleus.
Energy level.
Who holds the record for the most Grammy Awards for Album of the Year as of February 2024?
Taylor Swift, who has won the award four times.
Property unique to each element due to the difference in distance between the energy levels
Emission spectra.
Which waves on the EM Spectrum have a lower frequency than IR waves?
Radio & Microwaves
What happens when energy is absorbed by matter, due to its particles vibrating more rapidly?
It is converted to light & heat.
The study of matter and how it interacts with any portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Spectroscopy.
how many NFL teams have won 2 consecutive super bowls in Superbowl history?
8 teams- 9 total times.
When light bends or changes direction as it passes through a medium or from one material to another.
Refraction.
What happens to light waves when it travels from a dense medium to a less dense medium?
The line bends away from the normal line because it has less particles to collide with.
Do all atoms emit the same color light? Explain, why or why not.
They do not. They all have electrons with different distances from the nucleus, and therefore the energy released / color emitted will be different.
The bouncing back of light when it strikes a medium
Reflection.
