Wave Properties
The distances between 2 consecutive points on a wave.
What is wavelength?
You hear your voice echo in a canyon. What wave behavior is this?
What is reflection?
The kinds of EM waves most often associated with communication technology.
What is radio waves?
The major source of EM radiation on Earth.
What is the sun?
The biggest example of a vacuum that exists.
What is space?
Sound travels fastest in this type of medium.
What is through solids?
The opposite of absorption.
What is reflection?
The kind of EM radiation used to see broken bones.
What are x-rays?
The color with the highest energy in the visible light spectrum.
What is violet?
Frequency is that same as this property of musical instruments.
What is pitch?
The volume of a sound wave correlates to this wave property.
What is amplitude?
This is the reason that light bends as it refracts.
What is the wave changes in speed?
The type of EM waves that wifi uses.
What is radio waves or microwaves?
The difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation (the easy version)
What is, they affect materials differently? Or, what is ionizing is dangerous and non-ionizing isn't.
Noise canceling headphones utilize this wave behavior to work.
What is destructive interference?
The unit for wavelength.
What is meters?
When a wave is absorbed, the energy is converted to this.
What is heat?
What is they operate on the same frequency?
What is frequency?
The greek letter used to refer to wavelength.
What is lambda?
The formula for a wave.
What is velocity = frequency x wavelength?
Thomas Hunt's double slit experiment proved that light behaved like a wave. What wave property did it demonstrate?
What is diffraction?
The general process that communication technologies use to send messages (Hint: the flowchart)
All EM radiation is this.
What is light?
These are mathematical, visual, or physical representations of scientific ideas.
What are models?
