Dih Definitions
A disturbance that transfers energy through space or matter
What is a Wave?
the measurement of the change in an object's velocity. It is equal to the change in velocity over the change in time.
what is acceleration?
The law of inertia
What is Newtons 1st Law?
A wave that move at right angles
What is a Transverse wave?
The light waves we can see
what is Visible light?
A wave that transfers energy back and forth along the wave
What is a compressional wave/ Longitudinal?
a vector quantity that involves speed and direction of motion of the body
what is velocity?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
A wave that moves back and forth
What is a compressional wave?
The light waves with the biggest wavelength
What are Radio waves?
Waves that move the medium at right angles
What is a transverse wave?
the rate of motion, represented as the distance divided by time
what is speed?
when light waves hit a surface, the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection, and the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal
What is the law of reflection?
A wave that sends vibrations and tremors through the earth.
What is a seismic wave?
Waves that are just above visible light
What are infrared light waves
The length of time it takes for a wave to pass a point
What is a wave period?
the measurement of a push or pull on an object.
what is force?
F=ma
What is Newtons 2nd law?
Waves that need a medium to travel through
What is a Mechanical wave?
waves that are just below visible light waves.
What are Ultraviolet waves?
The bending of a wave around an object
What is diffraction?
an object's overall change in position
what is displacement?
light bends when it passes from one medium to another, such as from air to water
what is the law of refraction
Waves that do not require a medium to travel through
What is an electromagnetic wave?
The smallest wavelengths on the spectrum
What are Gammarays?
