MAAP Review P.8.6
Motions, Forces, and Energy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This is when light energy strikes an object and is changed to heat energy. The process of retaining radiation without reflecting it. | absorption |
| In a transverse wave, this is the magnitude of height of a wave from origin to crest. In a longitudinal wave, this is corresponds to how much the wave is compressed, as compared to areas of little compression. | amplitude |
| The place of maximum displacement on a standing wave. | antinode |
| This is the color of objects that do not reflect light from any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all frequencies of visible light. | black |
| Also called a longitudinal wave, they are waves whose direction of vibration is the same as their direction of travel.They produce compression and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. | compression wave |
| This is a lens that has at least one surface that curves inward | concave lens |
| This is a lens which is thicker in the middle than on the ends. It refracts parallel light rays so they come together at a single point, called the focal point. | convex lens |
| Mirror that is a reflecting surface that bulges inward or away from the incident light. Such mirrors reflect light inward to one focal point and can produce a real image. | concave mirror |
| Mirror that is a reflecting surface in which the reflective surface bulges toward the light source. Such mirrors reflect light outwards and always form a virtual image. | convex mirror |
| This is a measure of sound pressure level. | decibel |
| This is a measure of mass per unit volume. | density |
| This is a geologic event that occurs when tectonic plates are shifted violently. | earthquake |
| The complete range of light waves organized by wavelength/frequency. | electromagnetic spectrum |
| A propagating wave in space with electric and magnetic components. These components oscillate at right angles to each other. It may travel in a vacuum. | electromagnetic wave |
| This is the number of complete movements of a wave per second. | frequency |
| This is anything with mass that occupies space. | matter |
| This is the material in which a mechanical wave travels. | medium |
| The place on a standing wave where no motion occurs due to destructive interference | node |
| This is any material that allows no light waves to be transmitted through. Light waves are either absorbed or reflected. | opaque |
| This is a type of electromagnetic wave used for communications and Astronomy. | radio wave |
| The bouncing back of a wave from a surface. | reflection |
| This is any material that transmits some light, but causes the light to be scattered so no clear image is seen. | translucent |
| This is any material that that transmits most of the light that strikes to pass through and only a small amount of light is reflected or absorbed. | transparent |
| This is the distance from the peak to a peak of a successive wave. | wavelength |
| As wavelength increases, frequency _______________________ | decreases |
| The higher the frequency, the ___________________ the energy | higher |
| A wave which needs a medium (solid, liquid, gas) in order to propagate itself | mechanical |
