HEAT TRANSFER
Heat is a form of this.
What is energy?
The state of matter with a definite shape and definite volume.
What is a solid?
What are gas
The bending of light as it passes from one medium into another.
What is refraction?
The type of wave that light travels as.
What is a transverse wave?
Heat always flows from a warmer object to a __________ object.
What is a cooler object?
The state of matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape.
What is a liquid?
Sound must travel through this and cannot travel through a vacuum.
What is a medium
When light bounces off a surface.
What is reflection
The highest point on a transverse wave.
What is a crest?
Heat transfer through direct contact between particles.
What is conduction?
The phase change that occurs when a solid turns into a liquid.
What is melting?
The type of wave that sound travels as.
What is a compressional (longitudinal) wave?
The colors that make up visible white light.
What is ROY G BIV?
Electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.
What are radio waves?
Heat transfer occurs when warm air or liquid rises and cool air or liquid sinks.
What is convection?
The phase change that occurs when a gas turns directly into a solid.
What is deposition?
The type of wave that sound travels as.
What is a solid?
The type of reflection that produces a clear image in a mirror.
What is smooth reflection?
This type of electromagnetic radiation is used for medical imaging.
What are X-rays?
The only type of heat transfer that can travel through empty space.
What is radiation?
Adding heat causes particles to move faster and farther apart, often causing this overall change.
What is a change in state of matter?
The property of a wave that determines how high or low a sound is.
What is frequency?
An object appears black because it does this to most visible light.
What is absorbs light?
Electromagnetic waves with the highest energy and shortest wavelength.
What are gamma rays?
