Wave Basics
They all move in a back and forth pattern and transfer energy
What are waves?
The way that light travels.
What is a straight line.
White light is made up of these.
What are all the colors of the spectrum.
The measurement of how high a crest is.
What is amplitude?
When light is bounced back.
What is reflection?
It's the highest point in a wave
What is the crest?
The beam of light going into a mirror.
What's the incident beam?
The color that we see.
What is the color that's reflected?
What is frequency.
It's the bending of light.
What is refraction?
It is the point where the wave crosses the resting line.
What is a node?
The beam of light reflecting from a mirror.
What is the reflected beam?
The colors that are reflected from a black object
What are no colors?
It's the energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Changing it makes light bend.
What is the medium?
It's the lowest point of a wave.
What is the trough?
The invisible line coming from the center of the mirror
What's the normal line?
The colors reflected from a white object.
What are all the colors?
When it's high, a wave has more energy.
What is amplitude or frequency?
It's how light allows us to see things.
What is reflecting from objects?
It's the measurement from crest to crest.
What is the wavelength.
The angle of the angle of reflection when the angle of incidence is 45˚.
What is 45˚?
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
What are the colors of the spectrum?
The material through which a wave travels.
What is a medium?
When the light bends so much, it doesn't come out the other side.
What is internal reflection.
