Waves
A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place.
What is a wave?
The range of all types of electromagnetic waves.
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
A complete, unbroken path that electric charges can flow through.
What is an electrical circuit?
What IT stands for
What is information Technology?
The first step in the engineering design process
What is ask?
This type of wave requires a medium to travel.
What are mechanical waves?
This type of material allows light to pass through without scattering.
What is transparent?
The parts of this circuits are connected one after another on the same path.
What is a series circuit?
The physical components of a computer, like the monitor and keyboard.
What is hardware?
This step involves creating a detailed blueprint.
What is Plan?
In a wave, the highest point.
What is a crest?
This phenomenon occurs when light waves bend as they pass into a new medium.
What is refraction?
The difference in electric potential energy per charge between two points in a circuit.
What is voltage?
The amount of information transmitted per second over a communication channel.
What is bandwidth?
Getting this from others can help improve your design.
What is feedback?
The distance from one crest to the next in a wave.
What is wavelength?
This effect describes the change in frequency of a sound wave as its source moves relative to an observer.
What is the Doppler Effect?
The three main components of a circuit.
What are a source of electrical energy, connecting wires, and a device that uses electrical energy?
Information sent as patterns of electromagnetic waves that represent data at set time intervals.
What is a digital signal?
This should be done if changes are made to a model.
What is re-testing / testing again?
This is = wavelength x frequency.
What is wave speed?
Stiffness, density, and temperature affect this in a medium.
What is speed of sound?
Resistance = Voltage / Current
The name of this formula.
What is Ohm's Law?
The more pixels, the higher the ____________.
What is resolution?
Cost, time, available materials are examples of this.
What are constraints?
