Tom Hetzel English 7 cards

Cards in this deck (7)

1—Transverse waves - particles vibrate side to side
Longitudinal waves - particles vibrate forward and back
2Wave Speed - m/s Wave Length - m Wave Frequency - HzWave speed - m/s
Wave length - m
Wave frequency - Hz
3—Regular reflection - smooth surface
Diffuse reflection - Uneven surface
4—Refraction is the separating of the different colours of light from white light $Refraction is the separating of the different colours of light from white light$
5—Maximum diffraction - Gap equal to wavelength
If the gap is smaller than the wavelength, waves do not pass through. It the gap is larger, the corners turn $Maximum diffraction - Gap equal to wavelength If the gap is smaller than the wavelength, waves do not pass through. It the gap is larger,...$
6—Amplitude is volume
Wavelength is pitch
Humans can hear from about 20 - 20,000 Hz
7—Sound waves bunch up as source of the waves moves towards the observer
