Waves Basics
Look on the board. This is the letter that represents the crest of the wave.
What is B?
This is the wave equation.
What is wave speed equals frequency times wavelength.
A color printer uses this type of color formation. (addition or subtraction)
What is color subtraction?
This is an example of when we observe the doppler effect in daily life.
What is an ambulance passing by? (or something similar)
These are the types of glasses we used in a lab to explore refraction.
What are belay glasses?
These are the two types of waves.
What is mechanical and electromagnetic?
This happens to wavelength as frequency increases.
What is it decreases?
!!DOUBLE JEOPARDY!!
These are the three primary colors in color addition.
What are red, green, and blue?
This is how frequency changes as you are quickly towards an object that is emitting a sound.
What is the frequency increases?
This is the year Chattanooga High School was founded.
What is 1874?
This is the type of mechanical wave that a sound wave is.
What is a longitudinal wave?
This is the greek letter that represents wavelength.
What is lambda?
This is an example of where we see color addition in our daily lives.
What is computer screens, phone screens, or light shows?
This is how a star would appear through a spectroscope if it is moving rapidly away from earth.
What is red shifted?
This is Ms. Murphy's middle name.
What is Christine?
This is the wave with the highest amount of energy on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is a gamma ray?
This is the unit for frequency.
What is Hertz or 1/s?
This is what you get when you combine cyan pigment and magenta pigment.
What is blue?
This is what happens to the pitch of a sound as an object emitting a sound moves past a stationary observer.
What is it goes from high to low?
This is the wave behavior that is responsible for the sky appearing blue.
What is scattering?
This is the scientific definition of refraction.
What is light bending as it changes speed moving from one medium to another.
The speed of sound in room temperature air is 340 m/s. This is the frequency of a wave whose wavelength is 3.4 m.
What is 100 Hz?
This is what you get when you combine green light and red light.
What is yellow?
This is the scientific definition of sound resonance.
What is the effect produced when incoming waves amplify the oscillations of a string or air molecules when their frequency matches one of the natural frequencies of the oscillating system?
This is the name of the German poet who made a color wheel based on human perception, which disagreed with Isaac Newton's color wheel, which was based on science and observation.
Who is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe?
