The electromagnetic spectrum includes all types of electromagnetic waves. Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum can the human eye detect?
What is Visible Light?
The highest point of the wave, like the top of a hill.
What is the crest?
A wave that causes particles to move forward and back.
What is a Longitudinal wave?
Light is both a wave and a particle called.
What is a Photon?
Waves occur when energy cause a...
What is a Vibration?
When light passes from air into a glass lens, it bends. What is the term for this bending of light as it moves from one medium to another?
What is Refraction?
When a material takes in wave energy
What is absorption?
A wave that causes particles to move up and down or side to side.
What is a transverse wave?
This lense refracts (bend) light beams inward
What are Concave lenses?
Waves that travel through a medium are full of...
What is Energy?
A red shirt appears red because it absorbs all colors of visible light except red, which it reflects back to our eyes. What does absorption mean in this context?
What is take in light energy, rather than reflecting it?
How tall the wave is from the middle (rest point) to the crest or trough.
What is Amplitude?
A type of Longitudinal waves.
What is sound waves?
This lenses refracts (bend) light beams outward.
What are Convex lenses?
Waves travel faster in mediums that have a higher...
What is Density?
A lens in a magnifying glass bends light to make objects appear larger. How does the lens help your eyes interpret what you see?
What is it refracts light?
When a wave passes through material.
What is Transmission?
A type of transverse wave.
What are light waves?
These things in the human eye see color.
What are Cones?
Higher Frequencies of sound waves causes...
High Pitched sounds
Electromagnetic waves travel through space and are eventually detected by our eyes as visible light. How would you describe the relationship between electromagnetic waves and human vision
Our eyes contain structures that respond to specific ranges of electromagnetic waves.
The lowest point of the wave.
What is the Trough?
This big shake is both longitudinal and transverse waves.
What is a Earthquake?
Light waves travel at this speed
What is 700,000,000 miles per hour.
Lower frequencies of sound waves causes...
Low pitched sounds
