Light/Sound/Motion
Energy Vocabulary
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| reflection | the bouncing of sound or light off an object |
| frequency | the number of vibrations per second |
| pitch | how high or low a sound is |
| volume | the loudness or softness of a sound |
| amplify | to enlarge, expand or increase the volume of a sound |
| echo | a repetition of sound by the reflection of sound waves from a wall, mountain, or other obstructing surface. |
| vibration | the movement of sound waves through a gas, solid or liquid that creates sound |
| absorb | to take in or soak up |
| medium | a substance that occupies space like a solid, liquid or gas |
| sonar | a method or device used for locating objects underwater using sound waves |
| opaque | material that does NOT allow light to pass through |
| translucent | material allowing SOME light to pass through |
| transparent | material that allows light to pass through |
| refraction | the bending or breaking of light as it moves from one material to another |
| concave lens | a lens that is thicker at the edges than it is at the middle |
| convex lens | a lens that is thicker at the center than it is at the edges |
| kinetic energy | the energy of motion or moving |
| potential energy | the energy an object has because of its condition or position; stored energy |
| motion | the action of moving or changing places or positions |
| force | a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object |
| friction | the force that happens when two things rub together |
| weight | a measurement of how heavy something is; a measure of a pull of gravity on an object |
| mass | the amount of matter or weight of an object |
| speed | a measurement of distance over time; how fast something travels |
| gravity | a force that pulls everything towards the center of the Earth |
| Newton's 1st Law - Law of Inertia | An object moving in a straight line will continue moving in a straight line, unless acted on by an outside force. Also an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by an outside force. |
| Newton's 2nd Law | Force will cause a change in the motion of an object. The change in motion depends on the amount of force and the mass of the object. |
| Newton's 3rd Law | For each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
