Behaviors
Occurs when a wave strikes a boundary between two media then bounces back into the medium from which it originated.
What is reflection?
The waves are bunched together
What is compression?
The highest point of a transverse wave
What is the crest?
What is a radio wave?
Sound waves ______ around corners
What is bend or reflect?
Sound waves reflect off of surfaces as ______
What are echos?
The waves are far apart
What is rarefraction?
The lowest point of a transverse wave
What is the trough?
What is the only part of the EM spectrum that we can see?
What is visible light?
When we see a green leaf, it is because_________
What is reflection?
A wave being transmitted through a boundary, usually changing speed
What is refraction?
The measurement from compression to compression
What is a wavelength?
The length from crest to crest or trough to trough.
What is a wavelength?
The frequency of blue light is (higher or lower) than red light?
What is higher?
When a police car drives by you, the frequency seems to change.
What is doppler effect?
When 2 waves occupy the same space at the same time, building on top of each other
What is constructive Interference?
The way a longitudinal wave travels
What is parallel to the direction of the wave?
The height of a wave.
What is the amplitude?
Gamma rays are (longitudinal or transverse) waves?
What are transverse waves?
When two waves occupy the same space and they can either build on top of each other or cancel each other out.
What is interference?
When the source of a waves is moving in relationship to the observer, there is an apparent shift in the wave's frequency
What is the doppler effect?
The line on a transverse wave that goes through the middle of the wave
What is the line of orgin?
