State of Matter
This is the energy of motion
What is kinetic energy?
This is matter composed of 2 or more elements in a
fixed ratio
What is a compound?
A disturbance that carries energy from one location to another location.
What is a wave?
Causes reflections in shiny objects because they absorb less light
What is absorption?
Objects become positively charged when they lose electrons and negatively charged when they gain electrons
What is electric charge?
This is a state of matter that starts out as a
gas and becomes ionized
What is Plasma?
This type of mixture has the same composition throughout and looks like a single substance, even though it's made of more than one
What is a solution?
A substance or material that carries the wave.
What is a medium?
When light encounters transparent materials, almost all of it passes directly through them
What are transparent objects?
The presence and/or flow of electric charges
What is electricity?
Increased temperature means...
Greater average kinetic energy
when you stir sugar into water and it dissolves completely, the sugar is called this part of the solution
What is a solute
The length of a full cycle of a wave from one point to the next same point.
What is wavelength?
When a wave moves in one particular direction.
What is polarization?
Controls the movement of electric current by providing paths for electrons to follow.
What are circuits?
These are the three familiar states of matter
What are solid, liquid, and gas?
Movement of water in and out of the cell is exactly balanced.
What is Isotonic Solution
Waves that are capable of traveling through a vacuum
What are electromagnetic waves?
When two waves combine or meet to form one new wave.
What is interference?
An electric circuit allows electrons to flow from a negative pole (excess electrons) to a positive pole (deficient in electrons)
What are electric circuits?
These particles make up all types of matter
What is constant motion?
The movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane
What is Osmosis
Can be measured by counting the number of crests or compressions that pass the point in 1 second.
What is frequency?
Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to thermal energy
What are opaque objects?
The potential difference between two points in a circuit.
What is voltage?
