Wave "Anatomy"
What is the top of a transverse wave called?
What is the crest?
This behavior occurs when an incident ray hits a reflective surface and bounces away from it.
What is reflection
This wave type makes up the entire Electromagnetic Spectrum
transverse waves
This category encompasses both potential and kinetic energy
What is mechanical energy?
Who is Democritus?
What is the spaced out portion of a longitudinal wave called?
rarefraction
What Law states that an angle of incidence must equal the angle of reflection?
What is The Law of Reflection
This portion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum has the longest wavelengths.
What is Radio Waves?
This energy is stored within the bonds of a molecule.
What is Chemical Potential energy?
What is the heaviest subatomic particle?
what is a neutron?
What is the measure from the resting point to a wave's crest?
Amplitude
What is the wave behavior that causes us to see distorted locations of objects underwater?
What is refraction
This portion of the Electromagnetic Spectrum has wavelengths the size of a subatomic particle.
What is Gamma Waves?
This is the energy an object has when heat is added to it.
What is thermal energy?
What is the smallest subatomic particle?
What is an electron?
How are a wavelength and a period of a transverse wave different?
What is wavelengths tell us how a wave behaves in space while a period tells us how a wave behaves in time?
What wave behavior enables us to hear conversations happening around the corner from where we are standing?
What is diffraction
What color in the visible spectrum has the longest wavelength?
What is Red?
This energy-producing process occurs when two smaller atomic nuclei bind together to form one larger atomic nucleus.
What is Fusion?
What two subatomic particles make up the nucleus of an atom?
What are protons and neutrons?
What is a transverse wave's cycle?
One complete oscillation
Why does an ambulance sound higher pitched driving towards you and lower pitched when it is driving away?
What is the Doppler Effect
What is HIGH energy levels?
How does a nuclear power plant produce energy?
What is the process of fission heats up water, creating steam that turns turbines to create useable energy.
Who performed the famous Gold Foil experiment, and discovered that atoms have a nucleus?
Who is Ernest Rutherford?
