Wave Behavior
100
This technology uses light waves to communicate information.
What is a satellite?
100
Sound travels fastest through which medium/type of materials?
solids
100
True or false?
Light is an electromagnetic wave
true
100
The highest point of a transverse wave is called what?
crest
100
This is what happens when light hits a smooth surface, such as a mirror.
What is reflection?
200
This type of material allows some light to pass through, but not all of it.
What are translucent materials?
200
DRAW IT! Draw a low frequency wave with low amplitude
200
This type of wave has the lowest frequency.
What are radio waves?
200
The lowest point of a transverse wave is the what?
trough
200
This is what happens when light travels from one type of medium to the other.
What is refraction?
300
This is the color of sunlight, which can be separated into different colors.
What is white?
300
DRAW IT! Draw a high pitch sound wave with high amplitude
300
This type of wave has the highest frequency.
What are gamma rays?
300
What is amplitude?
The distance from the resting point to the crest/trough of a wave
300
Why do black objects and dark colors get hot under the sun?
black absorbs every color of light and does not reflect.
400
Light is able to travel through all materials except things that are _______.
What is opaque?
400
Describe a high frequency sound.
high pitch, short wavelength, sounds like "eeeeee"
400
This is why x-rays and gamma rays are dangerous.
What is their high frequency and energy?
400
What is frequency?
Is the number of waves produced in any given time.
400
This is the reason for the existence of different colors.
What is different frequency/wavelength of light waves?
500
List all of the types of electromagnetic waves in order from lowest frequency to highest frequency
Radio, micro, infrared, visible, UV, x-ray, gamma
500
Would an explosion in space make any sound? Why or why not?
no, because space is a vacuum. there is no matter.
500
Remote controls use this type of wave.
What is infrared light?
500
When waves have a greater frequency, they will have more what?
Energy
500
What are some objects that humans use that involve refraction?
glasses, contacts, microscopes, or telescopes
