Question | Answer |
---|---|
the buoyant force equals | the objects weight |
what is a complete cycle of motion | period |
number of cycles or vibrations per unit of time | frequency |
at a fixed boundary, waves are | reflected and inverted |
standing waves are produced by periodic waves of | the same frequency, amplitude and wavelength traveling the opposite direction |
sound waves are what kind of waves | longitudinal waves |
what is the region of a longitudinal wave in which the density and pressure are greater than normal | compression |
how high or low we perceive sound is called | pitch |
what generally travel faster through solids than liquids? | sound waves |
when the frequency of a force applied to a system matches the natural frequency of vibration of the system | resonance |
when 2 tuning forks side by side that emits frequencies that differ by only a small amount | beats |
relationship between frequency wavelength and speed holds for light waves because | all forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at a single speed in a vacuum |
image created by a flat mirror | virtual upright and magnification=1 |
refraction is the term for the bending of a wave disturbance as it passes at an angle from one ____ to another | medium |
the _____of light can change when light is refracted because the wavelength changes | color |
what will happen to a light ray incident on a glass-to-air boundary at greater than the critical angle | total refraction |
a repelling force occurs between two charged objects when | charges are like signs |
when a glass rod is rubbed with silk and becomes positively charged | electrons are removed from the rod |
where is the magnitude of the magnetic field around a permanent magnet greatest | close to the poles |
a current in a long straight wire produces a magnetic field. These magnetic fields lines | form circles that go around the wire |
in a magnetized substance, the domains | line up mainly in one direction |
whose principle says as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases | Bernoulli's |
whose principle says the pressure in a confined fluid increase remains the same throughout | Pascal's |
whose principle says the buoyant force on an immersed object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces | Archimedes |
