Term
Definition
convex   show
🗑
radiation (from the spectrum)   show
🗑
EM spectrum   show
🗑
show the color of light with the shortest wavelength (the most energy)  
🗑
red   show
🗑
infrared   show
🗑
show has slightly shorter wavelengths than violet light; this EM wave has frequencies too high therefore it can cause a sunburn  
🗑
show Objects that do not let any light pass through. They reflect or absorb the light, or both.  
🗑
translucent   show
🗑
transparent   show
🗑
black   show

🗑
absorption   show
🗑
show Light is sent in many directions as it passes through a medium. Ex: dust or small particles  
🗑
show When light bounces off a surface Ex: mirror  
🗑
show When a wave changes direction as it goes through one type of medium into another Ex: prism  
🗑
show A mirror that is curved inward like a bowl; causes an object to look bigger or magnified  
🗑
expand   show
🗑
show Decrease in the volume (or size) of an object because of a decrease in temperature  
🗑
show the only part of the EM spectrum that we can see  
🗑
radio waves   show
🗑
show the second slowest EM wave; we use it to heat food and in cell phones  
🗑
show an EM wave with a very high frequency; the waves can pass through tissue in your body but is absorbed by bone  
🗑
show the EM wave with the highest frequency of them all; they are used for medical imaging like MRI and CT scans as well as to treat some diseases like cancer  
🗑
show a material that transfers energy well because it traps in air and stays hot. Ex: any kind of metal  
🗑
show a material that does not transfer energy well because it lets air flow through, doesn't stay hot. Ex: glass, wood, ceramic, wool, rubber, brick, plastic  
🗑
show heat is transferred from one object to another when they are touching  
🗑
show heat is transferred from one object to another through a gas or liquid  
🗑
Radiation (heat transfer)   show
🗑
