Properties of sound
100
The highest point of a transverse wave.
What is the crest
100
Occurs when a wave strikes an object and ounces off it.
What is reflection
100
Black circle that is located at the center of the eye. The opening through which light passes.
What is pupil.
100
electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies.
What is Radio Waves
100
The human perception of sound intensity.
What is loudness
200
The distance between one point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave.
What is wavelength
200
The bending of a wave caused by a change in in its speed as it moves from one medium to another.
What is refraction
200
Protective covering for the eye. It spreads tears when you blink.
What is the eyelid
200
Rays used for medical examines.
What is X-rays
200
The threshold of pain (how high of a sound you can hear before it begins to cause pain to your ears)
What is 120 db
300
The distance from the crest to the rest position or the distance from the trough to the rest position.
What is amplitude
300
An object causes a wave to change direction and bend towards it.
What is diffraction
300
Inner layer in the back of the eye where images are formed.
What is the retina
300
Electromagnetic waves that can be seen.
What is visible light
300
How high or low you perceive a sound.
What is pitch
400
Number of wavelengths that pass a fixed point each second.
What is frequency
400
When two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave.
What is interference
400
The colored disk that surrounds the pupil. It adjusts the size of the pupil to control the amount light entering.
What is the Iris
400
Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths shorter than those of visible light.
What is ultraviolet
400
The amount of energy that flows through a certain area in a given amount of time.
What is intensity
500
Region where the coil are far apart (corresponds to the trough on the transverse waves)
What is rarefaction
500
The ability of an object to vibrate at its natural frequency.
What is resonance
500
White part of the eye
What is the sclera
500
Electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies.
What is gamma rays
500
The apparent change in the frequency of a sound caused by the motion of either the listener or the source of the sound.
What is the doppler effect
