Fichas del conjunto (10)
- 1AmplitudeThe height of a wave crest or a wave trough of a transverse wave from the rest position
- 2Angle of incidenceAngle between the incidence ray and the normal.
- 3Angle of reflectionAngle between the reflected ray and the normal
- 4Blue-shiftDecrease in the wavelength of electromagnetic waves emitted by a star or galaxy due to its motion towards us. The faster the speed of the star or galaxy, the greater the blue-shift is.
- 5Convection CurrentThe circular motion of matter caused by heating in fluids
- 6DiffractionThe spreading of waves when they pass through a gap or around the edges of an obstacle that has a similar size as the wavelength of the waves.
- 7Elastic Potential EnergyEnergy stored in an elastic object when work is done to change its shape.
- 8Electrical EnergyEnergy transferred by the movement of electrical charge.
- 9Electromagnetic SpectrumA set of radiations that have different wavelengths and frequencies but all travel at the same speed in a vacuum.
- 10Electromagnetic WaveElectric and magnetic disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another. The spectrum of electromagnetic waves, in order of increasing wavelength, is as follows: gamma and X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, radio waves.
