Waves
When waves bend around objects
What is diffraction
This creates sound waves
What are vibrations?
White light is made of...
What is all colors of light?
This allows us to see objects that do not emit their own light
What is light reflecting off other objects?
Light travels in transverse waves. These are the 2 parts of a transverse wave.
What are crest and trough
These are the 2 parts of a longitudinal wave. Like a sound wave.
What are compression and rarefaction
This part of the ear sends nerve messages to the brain
What is the inner ear
A green sweater will reflect this color of light.
What is green light?
If you place a pencil in a glass of water what will happen?
What is refraction and this will cause the pencil to appear broken.
Both light and sound travel through this, but sound must travel through this.
What is matter?
The change of speed and direction of light as it moves through a new medium
What is refraction?
The part of a sound wave associated with volume.
What is amplitude.
This color absorbs all wavelengths of light
What is black?
This travels fastest: light or sound
What is light?
Both light and sound travel in waves. This is what waves carry, and what they don't carry.
What energy, but not matter.
One material you can see through clearly. One material light will travel through but you can't see clearly. And the other material light does not shine through at all.
What are transparent, translucent or opaque?
The part of a sound wave associated with pitch
What frequency
This color reflects all wavelengths of light
What is white?
This color has the longest wavelength?
What red?
This part of the ear amplifies sound waves
What is the middle ear
When light or other waves hit an object and transfer energy to that object
What is absorption?
This part of the ear collects and funnels sound waves
What is the outer ear
The colors of the rainbow are called the color spectrum and they are...?
What red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet?
This color has the shortest wavelength.
What is violet?
The measure of a point on one wave to the same point on the next wave
What is wavelength?
