Equations/Relationships
Relationship between period and frequency (give both equations)
T=1/f and f=1/T
This type of wave can move through a vacuum (empty space).
What is an electromagnetic wave (light)?
A quiet sound wave will have a small this.
What is amplitude?
The visible light color with the lowest energy.
What is red?
As the wavelength gets longer, this gets lower/smaller.
What is frequency?
A wave with a larger amplitude has ______ energy.
What is more?
They travel through the ground/Earth.
What are seismic waves?
Each wave has a specific wavelength, frequency and this.
What is amplitude?
This behavior of light causes rainbows.
What is refraction?
Waves carry this; not this.
What is energy; not matter?
Calculation for the speed of a wave.
What is frequency times wavelength?
How the energy in a longitudinal wave moves relative to the medium.
What is parallel?
In a sound wave, pitch refers to this wave property.
What is frequency?
The EM spectrum is arranged by these 'FEW' things.
What are Frequency, Energy and Wavelength?
The intensity of sound is measured in these units.
What are decibels?
The unit we use to measure frequency.
What is hertz?
Sound is this type of wave.
What is mechanical or longitudinal?
This cannot transmit a mechanical wave
What is a vacuum?
Arranged from longest to shortest wavelength, the order of: x-rays, infrared waves, microwaves, and ultraviolet rays.
What is microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, and x-rays?
After a particle in a wave transfers energy it does this.
What is returns to it's original resting position?
If a string vibrates at a frequency of 2 hertz its period is this.
What is half a second?
What is transverse?
Mechanical waves travel through this.
What are media?
The visible light waves reflected off an object determines its...
What is the color of an object?
When light refracts it is bending due to change in this.
What is speed?
