Light
What happens to light when it hits a transparent medium that allows light to pass through.
What is transmits?
A type of wave that travels through matter in an up and down motion.
What is a transverse wave?
The height of a wave, indicating its energy.
What is amplitude?
Which direction does heat flow?
From high to low temperature.
The distance on a wave from crest to crest.
What is wavelength?
What happens to light when it hits an opaque medium that does not allow light to pass through.
What is absorbs?
Type of waves that can travel through empty space and matter.
What is electromagnetic waves?
The peak, or highest point, on a transverse wave.
What is crest?
The random motion of particles.
What is thermal energy?
What is high energy?
What happens to light when it hits a hard medium and bounces off.
What is reflection?
A type of energy that flows in the form of waves from higher energy systems to lower energy systems.
What is heat waves?
The valley, or lowest point, of a transverse wave.
What is trough?
Heat transferred through direct contact.
What is conduction?
A long wavelength has a high or low energy?
What is low energy?
What happens to light when it hits a medium that bends light as it passes through.
What is refraction?
Electromagnetic wave that is reflected off of objects to produce color.
What is light waves?
Part of compressional wave that forms behind the compression.
What is rarefaction?
Heat transferred in materials that flow.
What is convection?
The amount of waves per second.
What is frequency?
Which two interactions of light with medium have laws?
What is law of reflection and law of refraction?
Transverse wave that causes vibrations that can be perceived by humans.
What is sound waves?
The matter that a wave travels through (solid, liquid, or gas).
What is medium?
Heat transferred through electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
Which type of waves can travel through empty space?
What is electromagnetic waves?
