Characteristics of Waves
Sound
Light
100
A type of energy that causes movement.
What is Kinetic Energy?
100
It is the measure of the average kinetic (thermal) energy of a substance.
What is temperature?
100
It is the complete back and forth motion of a particle that allows energy to be transferred without moving the matter it makes up.
What is a vibration?
100
It is the substance that a sound wave travels through by causes the particles to move back and forth as it travels through the material. The material itself is not moved.
What is a medium?
100
This is the main source of energy on Earth. It allows plants to produce their own energy and in turn animals to get their energy by consuming plants or consuming animals that consume plants.
What is the sun?
200
Energy that is stored.
What is Potential Energy?
200
It is the increase in the size of a substance because the object's temperature increases.
What is thermal expansion?
200
The HEIGHT of a wave and NUMBER of waves that pass through a medium in a specific amount of time. To increase either one, the energy in the wave must also be increased. (Give the two terms in order)
What are amplitude and frequency?
200
They are the two things that affect how fast a sound wave can move.
What are medium and temperature?
200
These three terms describe how light may act when it comes in contact with matter. It could pass through the matter, be taken in by the matter, or bounce off of the matter. It may even do a combination of the three. (Give the three terms in order).
What are transmission, absorption, and reflection?
300
It tells us that energy cannot be made or destroyed, but can be changed to another type of energy.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
300
Energy that is transferred between two objects of different temperatures.
What is heat?
300
It is the bouncing back of an energy wave (light, sound, or water) when it hits a surface.
What is reflection?
300
An increase or decrease of this sound wave characteristic will cause an increase of the pitch of the sound. That is how high or low an object seems.
What is frequency?
300
They are the three terms that describe an object that light has either passed through or bounced back off of. An object may be completely see through; all objects and light can be seen through it. An object may be partly see through; light can be seen through it, but objects on the other side are blurred. Or an object may not be see through at all; neither light or other objects are seen. (Give the three terms in order).
What are transparent, translucent, and opaque?
400
Two words that describe how easily a resource can be replaced once it is used.
What are renewable and non-renewable resources?
400
When thermal energy (heat) is transferred from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature until they both reach the same temperature.
What is thermal equilibrium?
400
It is the apparent bending of a wave (light, sound, water) when is passes into a different medium. This forms an optical illusion because waves travel through different media at different speeds.
What is Refraction?
400
An increase or decrease in this characteristic of a sound wave will determine the loudness of a sound. The piece of equipment used to increase the loudness of a guitar gets its name from the characteristic.
What is amplitude?
400
It is the behavior of light that determines the color we see of an opaque object.
What is reflection?
500
They are the two measurements that determine an object's energy of motion.
What are mass and speed?
500
They are the three ways that energy can be transferred between object. Give the terms in the following order: direct contact, circulation of a liquid or gas, or released from an object.
What is conduction, convection, and radiation?
500
It is the change in direction of a wave (light, sound, water) when it hits an obstacle or opening.
What is diffraction?
500
This occurs when a sound wave bounces back off of an object and can be used by animals and humans to locate objects and look inside of objects.
What is an echo?
500
They are three conditions of the eye that cause the following vision problems; a person's eye is too long and only sees objects that are close up clearly, a person's eye is too short and only sees objects that are farther away clearly, or the receptors in the eye do not detect colors of light clearly. (Give the three names in order).
What are nearsightedness, farsightedness, and color deficiency?
