Wave Properties
Does not need to go through a medium
What is an electromagnetic wave?
Waves that bounce off of a medium.
What is reflection?
The type of wave produced by sound.
What is longitudinal waves?
Wave that has electric and magnetic fields.
What are electromagnetic waves?
Scatters the light that passes through it.
What is a translucent object?
The top part of a transverse wave.
What is the crest?
Waves bending due to a change of speed
What is refraction?
Loudness is measured by this unit.
What is a decibel (dB)?
Tiny packets of energy
What is a photon?
Absorbs all light.
What is black?
The number of times a wave repeats in a given amount of time.
What is frequency?
Two waves interacting together to form a wave with a greater amplitude.
What is constructive interference?
The high or low sound seems.
What is pitch?
Acts like a wave and a particle.
What is light?
Is used in a makeup mirror?
What is a concave mirror?
The distance traveled in a certain amount of time.
What is speed?
A wave that appears to stand in one place.
What is a standing wave?
Sound waves that pass through a surface.
What are transmitted waves?
Waves that are used in electric heaters.
What are infrared rays?
Used in microscopes.
What is a convex lens?
Maximum distance the wave travels from rest position.
What is amplitude?
When an external vibration matches an objects's natural frequency.
What is resonance?
The change in pitch of sound in relation to the observer.
What is the doppler effect?
The only electromagnetic waves that can be seen.
What is visible light?
Produced when parallel rays hit uneven surface.
What is diffuse reflection?
