Cards in this deck (23)
- 1EnergyThe ability to do work or cause change
- 2MediumSolid, liquid, or gas
- 3AmplitudeThe height of the wave
- 4WavelengthThe distance between two successful wave crests
- 5CrestThe highest point of a wave
- 6TroughThe lowest point of the wave
- 7HertzMeasures frequency
- 8Transverse Wave
- 9Longitudinal Wave
- 10ReflectionWhen light bounces off the surface
- 11ColorWhen different wavelengths of light appear to our eyes differently
- 12TransmissionThe moving of electromagnetic waves
- 13RefractionThe bending of a wave when it enters a medium
- 14AbsorptionWhen matter captures electromagnetic radiation
- 15What happens to when you shorten wavelength?Energy Increases
- 16What happens to energy when you lengthen wavelength?Energy decreases
- 17Does amplitude effect frequency?No
- 18What is the relationship between amplitude and energyWhen energy increases, amplitude increases
- 19MediumSolid, liquid, or gas
- 20What is a vacuum?A space with no matter (like outer space)
- 21We can see rainbows because..Light of different wavelengths is bent at different angles
- 22The longest color wavelengthRed
- 23The shortest color wavelengthViolet
