Light and Electromagnetic Spectrum
100
This is the time it takes to move through one cycle
What is Period
100
This is the distance between the "rest and crest" or "rest to trough"
What is Amplitude
100
This is the formula to solve for Period
What is T=1/f
100
This is a wave created by vibrating objects and is moved through a medium from one location to another
What is Sound Wave
100
True or False: Light travels slower than sound.
What is False
200
This is the unit for Period
What is seconds
200
Which would be louder: low amplitude or high amplitude?
What is high amplitude
200
This is the formula to solve for velocity.
What is v=frequency x wavelength
200
True or False: Sound is a physical disturbance in a medium.
What is True
200
This is part of the spectrum that our eyes can see. ROY G BIV
What is Visible Light
300
This refers to how many cycles that can occur in one second
What is Frequency
300
This is the distance between any two repeating points on a wave.
What is Wavelength
300
This is the value of the speed of light (c=?)
What is 3 x 10^8 m/s
300
Are sound waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
What is Longitudinal Waves.
300
What are the colors that ROY G BIV stands for?
What is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet
400
This is the unit for frequency
What is Hertz
400
Which would have a higher pitch: long wavelength or short wavelength?
What is short wavelength
400
This is the formula to solve for frequency when you are given velocity and wavelength.
What is f = velocity / wavelength
400
When you have a higher frequency that means you will have a higher what?
What is Pitch
400
When all colors are being reflected, what color do we see?
What is white
500
These are the two formulas for Frequency
What is f=1/T and f=cycles/time
500
This is the rate at which energy travels, it has speed and direction.
What is velocity
500
This is the formula used when solving for waves from the light spectrum
What is c = frequency x wavelength
500
This is the unit used to measure loudness.
What is Decibels.
500
Part of the invisible spectrum. Has the highest frequency and shortest wavelengths.
What is Gamma Rays
