Wave Properties
This is what waves transfer.
What is energy?
When a wave bounces off and then heads in a different direction.
What is reflection?
When you can see yourself in a mirror this is because light is doing what?
What is reflected?
This wave has more energy than visible light and is given off by the sun. Sunscreen is needed to protect our skin from its' damaging energy.
What is Ultraviolet Waves?
The part of the EM spectrum that humans can see.
What is visible light?
The distance from crest to crest.
What is the wavelength?
The bending of waves due to a change in speed.
What is refraction?
Why can't a violet light transmit through a green filter?
What is because of absorption?
This type of wave on the spectrum has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequencies.
What are radio waves?
The reason an apple looks red
What are red light waves are reflected and the other colors are absorbed?
The middle line where a wave would be without energy.
What is the resting point?
What is absorption?
Light passes through a window due to what?
What is a transmission? (It is transparent)
This color has the lowest frequency.
What is red?
The reason something looks white.
What are all colors of light are being reflected?
The lowest part of a waves is called...
What is a trough?
When the energy of the wave passes through the medium.
What is transmission?
The difference in a violet wave compared to a red wave is because of what properties?
What is frequency and/or wavelength?
The color of visible light that has the highest frequency.
What is violet?
The reason we see something as black.
What are all colors of light being absrobed?
The top of a transverse wave is called this.
What is the crest?
When all the colors of the spectrum combine.
What is white light?
This changes in a light wave as it goes from dim to bright.
What is amplitude?
If you can't see through something the object is what.
What is opaque?
What is black?
