Light Waves
What is the acronym that stands for the colors of the Visible Light Spectrum (Rainbow)?
ROY G BIV
Which type of waves are sound waves?
Longitudinal
Two objects touch. Direct contact with one another.
Which property bounces back off an object?
Reflection
Highest point of a transverse wave AND the Lowest point of a transverse wave. Should be TWO answers
Crest Highest/ Trough Lowest
Which color on the visible light spectrum has the longest wavelength?
Red
Which class of waves are sound waves? They need a medium to travel
Mechanical
How does Radiation in heat transfer work?
Which property occurs when light waves enter a substance and changes into other forms of energy?
Absorption
Very close together part of a longitudinal wave AND the Spread out part of a longitudinal wave
Compression Very close/ Rarefaction Spread out
Which color on the visible light spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Violet
Which state of matter do sound waves travel fastest in?
Solids
How does Convection in heat transfer work?
Hot air/liquid rise, Cold air/liquid fall. Circulation of fluid
Which property bends light waves as it passes through another medium?
Refraction
Distance between two adjacent crests or compressions
Wavelength
Which class of waves are Light Waves? They do not need a medium to travel
Electromagnetic
What is the unit of measurement for Amplitude?
Decibels (dB)
What do conductors do?
They allow heat to quickly pass through. Good at conduction
What is it called when all light waves pass through an object? Ex: Window
Transparent
The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a set amount of time
Frequency
Which type of wave are Light Waves?
Transverse
What is the unit of measurement for frequency?
Hertz (Hz) (Go Birds)
What do insulators do?
They keep inside heat in and keep outside heat out
What is it called when no light waves are able to pass through an object, making it impossible to see through it?
Opaque
The maximum distance the particles move from their resting position to the top or bottom of the wave
Amplitude
