The part of the ear that acts as a funnel to collect sound waves and directs them into the ear canal.
What is the outer ear?
100
This color has the lowest frequency of visible light.
What is red?
100
This is true about the visibility of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is "only a tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible"?
100
The reason why the speed of sound is faster in solids as compared to liquids and gases.
The molecules in solids are closer than in liquids and gases.
100
The direction that a disturbance in a transverse wave moves in relation to the direction of the wave.
What is perpendicular (at right angles)?
200
The part of the ear that contains the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones that act as levers to help increase sound vibrations.
What is the middle ear?
200
This color t-shirt would reflect the most visible light.
What is a white t-shirt?
200
This is larger in infrared radiation than in visible light.
What is a longer wavelength?
200
This insect produces the highest pitch with its wings.
bumblebee (125 flaps per second)
hummingbird (50 flaps per second)
mosquito (600 flaps per second)
honeybee (225 flaps per second)
What is a mosquito?
200
The direction that a disturbance in a longitudinal wave moves in relation to the direction of the wave.
What is parallel?
300
The part of the ear that picks up vibrations and turns them into sound that we can hear.
What is the eardrum?
300
The colors we see on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is visible light?
300
These electromagnetic waves (such as TV signals) have a longer wavelength than microwaves.
What are radio waves?
300
This happens when the intensity of a vibration increases.
What is "how the sound gets louder"?
300
The distance between rest and the highest or lowest point of a wave.
What is amplitude?
400
The part of the ear that contains tiny hairs that help translate sound vibrations into electrical signals sent to the brain.
What is the cochlea?
400
This color car would absorb the most light.
What is a black car?
400
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are dangerous because they can damage skin due to this quality
What is "high energy"?
400
Sound travels the fastest through this state of matter.
What is a solid?
400
The distance from one crest to the next crest or one compression to the next compression.
What is wavelength?
500
When light hits the eye, it first passes through this clear, protective layer.
What is the cornea?
500
This characteristic of light determines the color of light.
What is the frequency of light?
500
A high frequency electromagnetic wave has this type of wavelength and this type of energy.
What is short wavelength and high energy?
500
Two bottles filled with different amounts of water (500 mL and 200 mL) are struck with a fork. Wavelength of sound increases with an increase in water's depth.
This bottle has the lower pitch.
What is the 200 mL bottle?
500
The number of waves passing a fixed point in a certain amount of time.
