Sound waves
This type of wave requires a medium and moves through compressions and rarefactions.
A longitudinal wave
Name the 3 models by which thermal energy moves between substances
Conduction, convection, radiation
These waves can travel through a vacuum because they do not require a medium.
Electromagnetic Waves
What type of wave transfers energy through particle motion and cannot travel through a vacuum.
Mechanical Wave
This planet has the shortest day in the solar system, completing a rotation in about 10 hours.
Jupiter!
What does amplitude do?
This property of a sound wave determines how loud or quiet it is and is linked to energy.
What type of heat transfer occurs when particles vibrate and pass energy through direct contact?
Conduction
This is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see.
Visible Light
What type of wave has particle movement that was perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer?
Transverse wave
Which team has won the most VFL/AFL premierships, tied with Carlton?
Essendon
This feature of a sound wave determines whether a sound is high or low.
Frequency/Pitch
Warm air rising and cool air sinking in a room creates this type of heat movement.
Convection
All electromagnetic waves travel at this speed in a vacuum.
The speed of light!
The distance from one crest to the next one is called what?
Wavelength
Which music artist was the first in Spotify History to reach over 100 million monthly listens?
The Weeknd
In terms of Sound waves what is a medium?
A medium is anything that sound can travel through, without it sound cannot travel anywhere which is why sound cannot travel through a vacuum
This is the best explanation for why shiny, reflective surfaces are used on emergency blankets to reduce heat loss.
reducing heat transfer by radiation
The visible light spectrum is often remembered using this acronym.
ROYGBIV
What formula relates wave speed, frequency, and wavelength.
v = fλ
Which Australian hold the record for the most olympic gold medals?
Ian Thorpe
What are compression and rarefactions?
When sound travels, particles move closer together and further apart in this repeating pattern.
This property of a material determines how effectively it transfers heat, explaining why metals feel colder than plastic at the same temperature.
Thermal Conductivity
When light hits a surface, these are the three possible interactions that can occur.
reflection, absorption, and transmission
If frequency increases while wave speed stays constant, this wave property must decrease.
Wavelength
Which city was originally named Batmania after its founder?
Melbourne
