Waves
These types of waves are formed when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium.
Mechanical waves.
You can remember the relative wavelengths of light with this acronym.
ROY G. BIV
When wavelength is increased, frequency will do this.
The theory by Einstein that explains that light can behave as both a particle and a wave.
The Wave-Particle Duality Theory.
The more energy a wave has, the greater its...
Amplitude.
This type of wave does not need a medium to travel through.
An electromagnetic wave.
A wave in which the medium vibrates perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
A transverse wave.
When light hits an object, it can do one of these three things.
Be reflected, transmitted or absorbed.
A wave in which the medium vibrates parallel to the direction the wave travels.
A longitudinal wave.
The speed of this type of wave depends on the temperature.
The speed of sound.
