Waves
The highest point on a transverse wave.
Crest
Where the majority of EM waves/energy is produced
Sun/Stars
The colors that are included in the visible light spectrum
ROY G BIV
Sound is created when matter does this
Vibrates
Sense organ that detects light energy within the universe
Eyes
The distance from crest to crest (or trough to trough).
Wavelength
The only part of the EM Spectrum that human eyes can SEE.
Visible Light
When Visible light is produced, the color that we perceive it as.
White
A reflected sound can result in this
ECHO! (ECHO!) (echo)
Sense organ that detects vibrations within the universe
Ears
Two types of wave that differ on the medium they can travel through
Mechanical and Electromagnetic.
EM waves, unlike mechanical waves, can travel through this.
Vacuum of space
You see yourself in the mirror and hear your own voice in a cave. Light behavior.
Reflection
Sound travels as this type of wave only
Longitudinal/Compressional (Mechanical)
Sense organs will convert energy received into this (in order for your brain to understand what is going on around you)
Nerve Signals
Frequency
The EM Spectrum is organized from Low ________ to High __________.
When an object appears red, what is known about the interactions of each color
Red is reflected, all others are absorbed.
The number of waves produced per second determines a sound's _________
Pitch
The snail-shaped structure that is responsible for converting sound to nerve signals
Cochlea
The maximum distance a particle is moved from its resting position
Amplitude
List all the parts of the EM Spectrum from High Frequency to Low Frequency
Gamma, X-rays, UV, Visible, Infrared, Microwave, Radio
A rainbow forms after a rain shower and the sun finally peers through. What light interaction causes this phenomenon
refraction
The thin layer, containing rods and cones, found on the back of the eye that converts light to nerve signals.
