Waves
How does a transverse wave move? Side to side or up and down?
Up and down.
Name the layers of the earth
Crust, Mantle, outer core, inner core
Which part of the eye does reflected light first pass through when entering the eye?
The Cornea.
What section of the ear collects sounds from the outside world and funnels them into the other parts of the ear?
The Outer Ear.
What is Conduction?
Heat transfer through physical touch (Ex. Touching your hand to a hot stove)
Transverse waves and Longitudinal waves. (Bonus points if you also said Mechanical and Electromagnetic waves, but ONLY if you said transverse and longitudinal waves too!)
What are tectonic plates?
Large masses of land that make up the Earth's crust which moves, causing geological structures to form.
Which part of the eye focuses light?
The Lens
Which section of the ear takes vibrations and turns them into signals that the brain processes?
The inner ear.
What is Radiation?
Radiation is heat transfer without any sort of physical contact other than the waves itself (Ex. The Sun's heat waves are radiation)
Official definition of a wave.
A disturbance that transmits or carries energy through matter or space.
Which part of the Earth is liquid?
The Outer Core
Which part of the eye do electrical signals travel through to get ot the brain?
The Optic Nerve
Put these 3 parts of the ear in the correct order: Stirrup, Hammer, Anvil.
Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup.
What is Convection?
Heat transfer that only happens in liquids or solids that happens through the process of the warm gas/liquid rising and the cool gas/liquid falling, creating a convection current.
The parts of a wave.
Amplitude, Crest, Through, and Wavelength.
Which wave travels through both solids and liquids? (P wave or S wave)
P wave.
Which part of the eye turns light into electrical signals?
The retina
What section of the ear takes Sounds and turns them into vibrations?
The middle ear.
Name the 3 types of heat transfer.
Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.
Name all the waves on the EM Spectrum in order from least amount of energy to most.
Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared Waves, Visible Light, UV (Ultraviolet) Light, X-rays, Gamma Rays.
How do tectonic plates move?
Through convection currents in the Mantle.
Name the parts of the eye light enters through in order
Cornea, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve, and brain. (brain is optional)
Name the parts of the ear in order
Pinna, Ear Canal, Eardrum, Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup, Cochlea, nerves, the brain. (brain is optional)
Which way does heat always go?
From hot to cold!
