A light ray that bounces off a reflective surface at the exact angle at which it contacted the surface. Reflected light obeys the law of reflection, that the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence.
What is light reflected?
100
distance from end of compression to the end of the next compression
What is wavelength?
100
the outer visible portion of the ear that collects and directs sound waves toward the tympanic membrane by way of a canal which extends inward through the temporal bone
What is outer ear?
100
A delicate, multilayered, light-sensitive membrane lining the inner eyeball and connected by the optic nerve to the brain
What is retina?
100
solid, liquid, gas
What is medium?
200
An object will absorb oncoming light waves when the wavelengths of the light and the object are compatible. This means that both sets of wave lengths are the same size, meaning they're vibrating at the same frequency.
What is light is absorbed?
200
a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves
What is transverse wave?
200
area of sound where molecules are further apart
What is rarefaction?
200
The transparent convex anterior portion of the outer fibrous coat of the eyeball that covers the iris and the pupil and is continuous with the sclera.
What is cornea?
200
Characterized by high volume and intensity
What is Loudness?
300
a range of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the human eye
What is visible light?
300
area of sound waves where molecules are closer together
What is compression?
300
a membrane of the middle ear that vibrates in response to sound waves; the tympanic membrane.
What is eardrum?
300
The degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment
What is temperature?
300
mass/volume
What is density?
400
The entire range of radiation extending in frequency from approximately 1023 hertz to 0 hertz
What is electromagnetic spectrum?
400
vibrations that travel through the air or another medium and can be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear.
What is sound?
400
The space between the eardrum and the inner ear that contains the three auditory ossicles, which convey vibrations through the oval window to the cochlea
What is middle ear?
400
the ability to come back to zero state
What is elasticity?
400
The portion of the ear located within the temporal bone that is involved in both hearing and balance and includes the semicircular canals, vestibule, and cochlea.
What is inner ear?
500
the oscillating, reciprocating, or other periodic motion of a rigid or elastic body or medium forced from a position or state of equilibrium
What is vibration?
500
a measure of sound intensity
What is decible?
500
A spiral-shaped cavity of the inner ear that resembles a snail shell and contains nerve endings essential for hearing.
