Waves
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.
What is a wave?
A type of wave created by vibrating particles
What is an electromagnetic wave
This is the process of eliminating any form of microorganism.
What is sterilzation
A longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter
What is a sound wave
This is the scientific acronym for Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet
What is ROY G BIV
A material in which a wave travels
What is a medium?
A electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light
What is an infrared wave
What is a gamma ray
One part of the ear collects sound waves, on part of amplifies sound waves and one part converts vibrations to nerve signals that travel to the brain
What are the outer, inner, and middle ear
This is a transparent object with at least one curved side that causes light to change direction
What is the cornea
A wave in which the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction the wave travels
What is a transverse wave?
An electromagnetic wave that your eyes can see
The process forof transmission of information using light pulses along optical fibers
What is fiber optics
The perception of house high or low a sound seems
What is a pitch
One is the colored part of the eye while the other is an opening into the interior of the eye at the center of the iris.
What are the iris and pupil
The highest points on a transverse wave
What is a Crest?
A high-energy electromagnetic wave that has a slightly shorter wavelenght and higher frequency than an ultraviolet wave.
What is an X-ray
This is a low-frequecy, low-energy electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength between about 1mm and 30cm
What is a microwave
This is a reflected sound wave
What is an echo
This type of surface is curved inward
What is a concave mirror
The lowest points on a transverse wave
An electromagetic wave that has a slightly shorter wavelength and higher frequency than light and carries enough energy to cause chemical reaction
What is an Ultraviolet Wave (UV Wave)
a low-frequency, low-energy electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength longer than about 30cm
What is a radio wave
These are the transmissions of light waves
What are transparent, translucent, and opaque
This is a transparent object with at least one curved side that causes light to change direction
What is a lens
