sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal
100
what is the lowest point?
through
100
What is frequency?
number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time
100
What is electromagnetic spectrum?
A continuum of all electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequency and wavelength
100
What is Refraction?
change in direction of a wave when it changes speed as sit travels from one material (medium) to another
200
Name 2 waves that are similar
Wavelength, and Transverse waves
200
What is the highest point?
Crest
200
What is wave length?
distance over which the wave's shape repeats, and thus the inverse of the spatial frequency
200
What is electromagnetic spectrum used for?
Is the range of all types of EM radiation
200
What is a Transmission?
When light waves pass through an object without interacting
300
Name 2 examples of Longitudinal waves
1:sound wave
2:vibrations in pressure
300
What does Transverse waves work?
particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion
300
What is wave speed?
A speed at which a wave travels through
300
What are the uses of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Example include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
300
What is a Absorption?
When light waves transfer energy to particles of matter
400
What are Longitudinal waves used for?
motion of the individual particles of the medium is in a direction that is parallel to the direction of energy transport
400
What do Transverse waves do?
moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer
400
What is wave speed used for?
Determines the frequency and the speed of these waves
400
How does Electromagnetic spectrum work?
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are a form of radiation
400
What is a reflection?
When light waves bounce off an object
500
What is Longitudinal waves?
a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
500
Name 3 real life scenarios/examples of Transverse waves?
1:shaking a rape down and up that is tied to something
2:shaking crumbs off the blanket or sand of a towel
3:stadium wave at football & basketball games
500
What are two examples of wavelength?
The distance between the crest of two waves, You and another person share the same general attitude and can thus communicate well
500
Name 2 waves that are similar to the electromagnetic spectrum?
X rays, gamma rays,
500
What is a scattering?
An interaction of light when changes directions (light scatters in all directions)
