WAVES
What are three things that travel in the waves?
- Light
- Sound
- Air
- Light
- Sound
- Air
What are three of the properties of waves?
- Wavelength
-Frequency
- Amplitude
- Wavelength
-Frequency
- Amplitude
Why does light break into patterns when it is run through thin slits?
A prism separates white light into a group of seven colors called a spectrum. Light can be reflected and bent. When light passes into the prism glass it slows down and it bends.
Do the X-Rays have higher or lower frequency than light waves?
Higher frequency than light waves
Define wavelength: The distance between peaks (high points) is called wavelength.
What causes waves on the ocean?
-Wind-
What are the waves in the Earth called( Earthquake waves)?
-Seismic waves-
Define frequency: speed of the wave
Define amplitude: height of the wave
What kind of wave travels by squeezing and spreading?
Compression waves
What is it called when a wave bounces back and comes back to the source?
Echo
What is Sonar?
SONAR is an abbreviation for Sound Navigation And Ranging, a navigational technique that uses sound to gather information about the surrounding environment.
