Flashcards
Physics - Waves
Cards in this deck (12)
- 1How does the energy transfer in a Transverse wave ?Perpendicular
- 2Give an example of a transverse wave.Radio-waves
- 3How does the energy transfer in a longitudinal wave?Parralell
- 4What is the image like in a plane mirror?Virtual , Upright and Laterally inverted
- 5What is the angle of Incidence equal to?The angle of Refraction.
- 6Why are waves refracted a medium?This is because the direction of the wave changes.
- 7What has occurred when no refraction takes place when a wave has hit a medium?The wave has traveled along the NORMAL
- 8Why do lower pitch sounds show more diffraction than higher pitched sounds?The waves are more spread out.
- 9Name all electron magnetic waves starting biggest ending smallestRadio - Micro - Inferred - Visible light - Ultraviolet - X-ray - Gamma.
A good way to remember it is:
Randy Monkey's in Violet Underpants Exterminate Gorrilas - 10Describe whether the Frequency , Wavelength and Energy Increases or decreases as you do down the Spectrum.Frequency INCREASES.
Wavelength DECREASES
Energy INCREASES - 11What is special about the velocity 3x10*8Its the speed of light.
