Unlike light sound cannot travel without a...
Medium (Solid, Liquid, Gas)
Decreasing the energy of a wave will do what to its wavelength
Increase its wavelength
What travels faster light or sound?
Light.... by a lot
Distance between two crests of a wave
Wavelength
The lowest frequency and longest wavelength form of light
Radio Waves
A higher fluency sound would have a higher...
Pitch
When a wave bounces off a surface
Reflect
If an object reflects all light, what changes can occur in it if it is placed under direct sunlight.
Nothing
Height of the wave from its resting point
Amplitude
The highest frequency and shortest wavelength form of light.
Gamma Waves
A high amplitude soundwave would result in a _________________ volume sound.
High
When a wave is taken in by a material.
Absrob
If an object transmits radio waves, what changes will occur in it when a radio wave passes through it.
Nothing
The number of waves that pass a point in a second
Frequency
The massless particle that makes up all light and electromagnetic radiation
Photon
In what way does sound travel?
as a longitudinal wave
When a wave passes completely through a material
Transmit
When will a material have a greater change in its temperature.
While absorbing 80% sunlight
or while absorbing 70% sunlight
80% sunlight because it is getting 10% more energy
