200
Proton
Positively charged. Inside an atom. Never moves.
200
Wave
A distrubance through the space that carries energy without moving the particles.
200
Fahrenheit
This scale has freezing at 32.
200
Wavelength
How long a wave is. Measured in meters.
200
Ohm's Law
V=IR
300
Coulomb
Unit for charge.
300
Longitudinal Wave
A wave where particles move in the same direction as the wave.
300
Kelvin
This scale is based on absolute zero.
300
Trough
The lowest point of a wave.
300
Ohm
Unit for Resistance
400
Watt
Unit for power.
400
Transverse Wave
A wave where particles move perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
400
The average kinetic energy of the molecules doubles.
When temperature doubles this means that
400
Crest
The highest point of a wave.
400
Ampere
Unit for current
500
Voltage
How much energy is carried by the charges. Measured in volts (V)
500
Mechanical Wave
A wave that needs a medium to travel through
500
Yes, because there is a different in temperature.
