The amount of thermal energy has is determined by its...
What is mass and temperature?
Any material that does NOT allow energy to pass through easily.
What is insulators?
This is the measure of the energy of a wave.
What is amplitude?
The distance from trough to trough or crest to crest.
What is wavelength?
Changing the amplitude of a sound wave changes this
What is how loud or quiet the sound?
This type of transfer requires substances to be in direct contact.
What is Conduction
Any material that allows energy to pass through easily.
What is a conductor?
The highest part of a wave is the crest, while the lowest part is this.
What is trough?
This wave property is a measure of the energy of a wave and is the midpoint between the crest and trough.
What is amplitude?
This wave interaction is the bending and spreading of waves around obstacles.
What is diffraction?
This is the direction heat always flows, from
What is Heat always flows from warmer objects to colder objects?
Examples of good conductors include metals like copper, aluminum, and this other metal
What is Silver?
Waves transfer energy (vibrating chains of molecules) but they do NOT transfer...
What is matter?
This is the number of waves passing in one second, measured in hertz.
What is frequency?
White light is a mixture of all the colors of this.
What is rainbow?
The three types of heat transfer are Conduction, Convection, and this.
What is Radiation
This material was the most effective insulator in an experiment, losing the least amount of thermal energy.
What is styrofoam?
A mechanical wave, like a sound wave or water wave, requires this to travel through.
What is a medium?
A wave with a short wavelength will have this type of frequency.
What is high?
The wave interaction that causes a spoon placed in a glass of water to appear broken.
What is refraction?
This is the transfer of heat due to the actual movement of the substance and occurs only in liquids and gases.
What is Convection
A space devoid of matter, which makes it an exceptional insulator that blocks heat transfer by conduction and convection.
What is a vacuum?
Electromagnetic waves, like light and X-rays, do not need a medium and can travel through this.
What is empty space?
This is how transverse waves move..
What is perpendicular or at a right angle to the energy of the wave.
Sound can travel better through this kind of matter.
What is denser matter/ solids?
