| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| wave transfers | energy |
| the wave that makes a right angle to the direction the wave is traveling in is called a | compressional wave |
| the high part of a transverse wave is a | crest |
| the low part of a transverse wave | trough |
| transverse wave are | light waves |
| sound waves are | compressional waves |
| visible light is part of the _ spectrum | electomagnetic spectrum |
| what do you call the apparent bending of waves as they pass from one medium to another | |
| what is the relationship between frequency and wavelength | As the frequency increase the wavelength decrease |
| what is the relationship between frequency and energy | As the frequency decrease the energy decrease |
| which has more energy x-ray or micro | x-ray |
| what is the speed of light | 300,000,000 m/s |
| what is the speed of sound in air at 20*c | 343 m/s |
| what do you call the ray going IN | insidence ray |
| what do you call the ray going OUT | reflected ray |
| what is the law of reflection | the angle out = the angle in |
| what is the name of the angle next to the incident ray | Angle of Incident |
| what is the name of the angle next to the reflected ray | Angle of Reflection |
| what is the motion of a sound wave | side-side |
| a sound wavelength is from where-where | compression-compression |
| sound needs a what in order to transfer energy | a medium |

| what is the motion of a sound wave | side-side |
| a sound wavelength is from where-where | compression-compression |
| sound needs a what in order to transfer energy | a medium |
| Sound travels fastest in_then_and slowest_ | fastest in solids than liquid and slowest in gas |
| sound travels faster in air when it is | raining |
| the part of the em spectrum with the longest wavelength and lowest frequency is | radio |
| another name for "heat" waves is | infared |
| what part of the em spectrum do colors fit in | visible light |
| the part of the spectrum responsible for suntan | U.V |
| the part of the spectrum that can take pictures of your bones | X-Ray |
| the part of the spectrum with the highest frequency and the shortest wavelength is the | gamma |
| where on the spectrum does sound fit | it does not have a place on the spectrum because the em spectrum is all transverse wave and sound is a compressional wave |
| when hit light passes through a _ a spectrum will form | prisim |
| when you can't see through something | opaque |
| when you can see clearly through it | transparent |
| when you can see somewhat through it | translucent |
| name 4 ways light waves are different from light waves | light doesn't need a medium to travel when sound does frequency velocity up and down and side to side |
