Light It Up!
See It or Not?
Sound & Energy
100
The highest point of a wave
Crest
100
The bending of light as it passes through water or glass
Refraction
100
When light is able to pass completely through an object
Transparent
100
The property of a sound wave that determines how loud something is
Volume
200
In this image, C represents this part of a wave
Trough
200
When light hits the many tiny mirrors on this disco ball allowing for colored spots to appear on a wall is an example of this
Reflection
200
As light travels, it is blocked by the board and does not pass through. The board can be describes as this.
Opaque
200
Sounds waves move through matter by this.
Vibrations
300
The distance from one crest to the next crest is called this
Wavelength
300
We are able to see the moon at night even though it does not produce it's own light. This is because it reflects light energy from what other source?
The Sun
300
Light passes through a surface but it is scattered, therefore no clear image is visible.
Translucent
300
Fill in the blanks:
The louder the sound, the _________ the amplitude. The softer the sound, the ________ the amplitude.
Larger; smaller
400
This part of a wave is related to the amount of energy a wave has.
Amplitude
400
This object helps separate white light into a rainbow of light. It is known as this.
Prism
400
Each color of the rainbow has a different wavelength. When light hits the red ball, you see it as red because it reflects the red wavelengths. When light hits the white ball, it reflects all wavelengths. When light hits the black ball, it does this.
Absorbs all the light
400
When music plays through a speaker, the sound waves travel through this example of matter before it enters the eardrum?
Air
500
Fill in the blanks:
The wave energy moves _______, but the water itself only moves _____ and ______ in place.
Forward; up and down
500
In this image, a boy is looking through a periscope on a playground. As light enters the top lens of the periscope, a mirror at the top and the bottom allow the boy to see what is in front of him. This is an example of this scientific concept
Reflection
500
Fill in the blank:
When you look at a butterfly, light from the Sun reflects off the butterfly and enters your eyes. The light enters the surface of your eye. The ______ allows you to focus on what the light is reflecting and then sends a message to the ________.
Lens; brain
500
The waves from an earthquake are used to measure the strength of an earthquake and the physical effects of it. These waves are known as this.
Seismic waves
