Science: Sound and Light
Cards in this deck (10)
- 1What type of medium does sound travel best in? Why?Sound travels best in solids because the the particle theory says that when particles are closer together energy is transferred easier
- 2if you increase the volume, _________ would increaseamplitude
- 3________ affects the intensity of sounddistance
- 4A sound wave with a greater frequency would have more _________________ per second and a ________ pitchwavelength; higher
- 5A sound wave with a low frequency would have less _________________ per second, causing it to have a _________ pitch, __________ soundwavelength; lower; deeper
- 6What are the three types of sound movement?reflection, absorbed and transmitted
- 7What is refraction? When does it occur?refraction is the bending of light, and it occurs when light travels between different mediums
- 8label this diagram1. normal
2. incident ray
3. incident angle
4. angle of refraction
5. refraction ray
6. medium 2 (water) - 9what is a refractive index?a refractive index is the ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to its velocity in a specific medium
- 10what material has the highest refractive index?diamonds have one of the highest refractive index
