EM Spectrum
Electromagnetic waves travel at this speed.
What is the speed of light? (299,000,000 meters per second)
Waves are any ___________ that transfers energy from place to place.
What is disturbance?
Corresponds with high energy (loud) sound wave.
What is high amplitude?
The tallest part of a wave.
What is crest?
As amplitude increases, volume/brightness does what
What is increases?
Color if all visible light is reflected.
What is white?
What is an echo?
Corresponds with a high frequency.
What is high energy or short wavelength?
Distance from one point to next same point.
What is wavelength?
As frequency increases, energy does what
What is increases?
Color if all visible light waves are absorbed.
What is black?
Source of a mechanical wave.
What is a vibration?
When a wave hits an object and then bounces back.
What is reflection or reflected?
Lowest part of a wave.
What is a trough?
As wavelength increases, frequency does what
What is decreases?
Highest energy waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are gamma rays?
The main category that sound waves are in.
What is a mechanical wave?
When light enters an object and doesn't leave
absorbtion
Maximum distance particles move in a wave
What is amplitude?
As wavelength increases, energy does what
What is decreases?
Causes us to see the color of things.
What is reflection?
State of matter where sound travels fastest.
What is solids?
When a wave moves through an object without getting reflected or absorbed.
What is transmission?
Position of particles when wave is not going through the medium.
What is resting point? (Equilibrium Point)
As the frequency of a sound wave increases, this characteristic of sound also increases.
What is pitch?
