100
This is the term for any form of water that falls from clouds
Precipitation
100
Name the state change and what is happening to the particles when a substance changes from a liquid to a solid.
Freezing (solidification); the particles are losing energy until the cannot pass each other
100
What is labelled at B?
Amplitude
100
Name a section of the electromagnetic spectrum that has a higher frequency that visible light.
UV, x-rays, gamma rays
100
What is the difference between transparent, translucent, and opaque?
Translucent: nearly all light goes through, no refraction.
Transparent: some light goes through with refraction
Opaque: no light goes through
200
Name 2 things that increase your carbon footprint.
Driving a car, heating your house, flying, eating meat, etc...
200
What is the change of state that occurs when a substance changes from solid straight to gas?
Sublimation
200
If the time between beginning of point A to end of point D is 4 seconds, what is the frequency in Hz?
0.5 Hz
200
Name a section of the electromagnetic spectrum that has a longer wavelength than visible light.
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared
200
Name the colour order that light refracts through a prism, and why it is in that order
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. They are in order of wavelength from longest to shortest.
300
What is the greenhouse effect and name one greenhouse gas.
When a layer of insulation (glass, gas, etc.) traps and reflects heat radiation, heating the environment. Carbon dioxide.
300
If a hot pan is left on a counter, what will happen to the pan? What is this called?
The pan will cool to room temperature because the energy from its particles will even out with the energy of the particles in the air. Thermal equilibrium
300
How is the movement of energy different in a transverse waves vs a compression wave?
Transverse waves the energy moves up and down (perpendicular to the wave movement)
Compression waves the energy moves side to side (parallel to the wave movement)
300
Which section of the electromagnetic spectrum is most harmful to human cells?
Gamma rays
300
In a plane mirror if the angle between the incidence ray and the normal is 38º, what will the angle of reflection be?
38º
400
2 terms: one that means water turning from liquid to gas from the ground, and one that means water turning from liquid to gas from plants.
Evaporation; transpiration
400
Give any 3 points of the particle theory of matter
1. Everything is made of particles
2. Particles are always moving
3. Particles never touch
4. Particles in a pure substance are all the same
5. Particles are attracted to one another
400
What is the amplitude of this wave? 
8cm
400
Which colour would be the lowest frequency reading in Hertz?
Red
400
What is the S.A.L.T of an image reflected in a plane mirror?
S: same
A: upright
L: same
T: virtual
500
Name the 3 'spheres' in the water cycle, and where they are.
Atmosphere: air
Hydrosphere: surface water
Lithosphere: underground
500
Define specific heat capacity
The amount of energy required to raise 1mL of a substance 1ºC.
500
What is the frequency of this wave in Hz?
0.1 Hz
500
What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
They are inversely related (one gets larger the other gets smaller)
500
Using what you know about angle of refraction, compare the densities of substance A and B.
Substance A is more dense than substance B.
