100

What is a wavelength?

The distance between two corresponding waves.

100

What are the two types of lenses?

Concave and convex lenses

100

What is the lowest form of electromagnetic waves?

This would be the Radio Waves?
100

What type of wave does this represent? 

A Transverse wave

100

What is a sound wave?

A Mechanical longitudinal wave that moves "sound" through a medium. 

200

What does the Amplitude in a wave represent?

The Amplitude represents the frequency of the wave/pitch

200

What time of medical problem would convex lenses solve?

It would solve farsightedness.

200

Which color has the highest frequency?

What is Violet

200

Which side has more radiation than the other? 

The right side. 
200

Do sound waves travel in a vaccum?

No, they require a medium to travel and cannot travel through a vacuum.

300

Describe a longitudinal wave. Make sure you define it with scientific words.

They are parallel waves; they include refraction and compression. 

Ex: Sound waves

300

What type of medical problem would concave lenses solve?

It would solve nearsightedness

300

What type of electromagnetic waves could give you a bad sunburn or cure nail polish?

This would be UV rays. 

300

Which wave is convex and which wave is concave? 

Left side = Convex lenses

Right side = Concave lenses

300

What is the distance between Amplitude and Frequency?

Frequency determines the pitch if its high or low and Amplitude determines the loudness of the thing. 

400

Describe Transverse waves. Make sure to use scientific words. 

They are perpendicular, and even in both mechanical and electromagnetic wave families. 

Ex: Waves in the ocean

400

How does a concave lens reflect a photo upside down?

When you stand further away from the mirror focal point is when it reflects upside down. 
400

How does the electromagnetic spectrum affect our daily lives?

It allows us to use cellphones, make medical diagnosis, and let us use daily things such as microwaves or remotes 

400

What does this image represent?

Diffraction

400

What does it mean if an alarm is quieter but has the same pitch?

The Amplitude decreases while the frequency stays the same. 

500

If you were trying to listen to music on the moonn, would you be able to hear it?

No, you would not be able to hear the music because there is no atmosphere to carry the sound.

500

Can a convex lens become a concave lens?


Yes, it can if it is immersed in Carbon Disulfide, liquid, that has a higher refraction index.

500

What does the electromagnetic waves deal with the atmostphere?

It blocks harmful high energy such as gamma rays but allows visible lights and less frequency items to pass through. 

500

Label the arrows with compression and refraction. 

Blue arrow= Compression 

Red arrow= Refraction

500

If light travels faster than sound. What is the reason behind this phenomenon.

Sound requires a medium to travel through while light waves do not. This lets the light travel extremely fast while sound travels a lot slower.
