The rapid moving back and forth movement of matter
What is vibration?
100
The way sound and light always travel;
disturbances moving through mediums
What are waves?
100
The way light waves travel in straight paths
What are rays?
100
The number of colors in the visible spectrum of white light;
(These are the colors in a rainbow.)
What is: 7?
200
The number of waves passing a given point in a given time;
This determines the pitch of sound.
What is frequency?
200
The parts of a wavelength
What are crest & trough?
200
The amount of time and distance it takes light from the sun to travel to the Earth
What are: 8 1/2 minutes & 150 kilometers?
200
An optical device that separates white light into the colors of the visible spectrum
What is a prism?
300
The instrument that uses sound waves to locate objects underwater;
also the technology that detects the depth, size, and distance of objects underwater by means of sound waves
What is sonar?
300
The distance between two compressions of a sound wave
What is a wavelength?
300
1. The quality of most light being able to pass through an object; objects can be clearly seen;
2. Some of the light is able to pass through an object, but it is scattered; objects cannot be clearly seen;
3. None of the light passes through an object
What are: 1. transparent; 2. translucent; 3. opaque?
300
1. This color has the longest wavelength.
2. This color has the shortest wavelength.
What are: 1. red; 2. violet?
400
This determines the pitch of sound.
What is: the frequency of the vibrations?
400
This energy is transmitted by vibrating matter; travels in waves that must have a medium in which to move; and travels most quickly through solids.
What is: sound energy?
400
1. A lens that curves inward and makes images appear smaller;
2. A lens that curves outward and makes images appear larger
What are: 1. concave lens; 2. convex lens?
400
The paths light waves travel: 1. until they hit an object;
2. bounce off an object; 3. are bent; 4. pass through an object
What are: 1. straight; 2. reflected; 3. refracted; 4. transmitted?
500
The apparent change in the pitch of a sound wave, as the source of the sound approaches
What is the Doppler effect?
500
You can only see objects when this is reflected off the objects.
