Energy & Molecular Physics
This is stored up in a substance but cannot happen with out a force acting upon it.
What is potential energy?
The energy applied to a object that creates sound.
Red, blue, and green.
What are the primary colors of light?
When air or water sinks to the bottom and hot air or water rises to the top.
What is convection?
The polar attraction between two objects.
What is magnetism?
These are the building blocks of physics.
Changes in length of a string or pipe cause a change in sound.
What is frequency or pitch?
A mirror and a laser pointer demonstrated this property of light.
What is reflection?
A tool used to measure heat in which the liquid expands?
What is a thermometer?
The energy of motion
What is kinetic energy?
What are Hertz?
When an object does not allow any light to pass through.
What is opaque?
The way heat moves through gases in waves.
What is radiation?
The type of electricity that travels through wires.
What is current electricity?
The negatively charged particles that can be lost or gained between substances and chemical reactions.
What are electrons?
What is amplitude?
Photoreceptors cells in the retina that take in color.
What are the cones?
"Opposites attract, like side repel."
What is the law of magnetic attraction?
The point at which the transfer of energy changes a substance from a liquid to a gas.
What is the boiling point?
A type of energy that travels through waves and must be received into the ear.
What is sound?
The bending of light discovered by Sir Issac Newton.
What is refraction?
An object such as a nail or screw that is able to become temporarily magnetic.
