  1. Waves Mr. King

  2. What are WAVES? • 1. The definition of a wave is? • Energy that causes something to move a distance. • 2. List some waves we will be exploring in this unit. • Sound, Earthquakes & Light.

  3. Transverse Wave Compression Wave • What is the difference between a transverse waves and a compression wave? Which one of these us a sound wave? • Sound waves uses both.

  4. What type of wave did your air cannon use? • A compression wave.

  5. Using the words “crest”, “trough”, “amplitude”, “ and “wavelength”, draw pictures explaining these parts of a wave.

  6. Using the words “crest”, “trough”, “amplitude”, “ and “wavelength”, draw pictures explaining these parts of a wave. Crest

  16. 2. What is the difference between incandescent and fluorescent? • Fluorescent uses gas in a light bulb and incandescent uses a filament a solid material that gets hot. • 3.What is the speed of light? • 300,000 km per second. • 4. Distinguish between opaque, translucent and transparent. • Opaque, light can’t travel through. Transparent is clear, light almost totally goes through. Translucent is like some light can go through.

  30. Can you give me an example of both a convex and concave Mirror? Which one would you use in a solar collector? • 6. What is refracted light? Give an example of this. • Light that goes through two different mediums - (a medium is • Like air, water or glass. • 7. Draw and label some lenses here.

  40. Both unfocused Near sighted Far sighted

  41. Glasses or contacts Both focused Near sighted Far sighted

  42. 10. What scientific principle is explained using a prism? • Color Refraction

  43. 10. What scientific principle is explained using a prism? • Color Refraction

  44. 10. What scientific principle is explained using a prism? • Color Refraction R O Y G B I V

  45. 10. What scientific principle is explained using a prism? • Color Refraction R O Y G B I V This makes a rainbow.

  46. 11. What does the word Laser stand for? How are lasers used today? • Light Amplification by Simulated Emissions or Radiation. Lasers are used in surgery and manufacturing. Also in weapons. • 12. How are radio waves related to light waves? • Longer wave length is a radio wave. Shorter ones are light waves.

  47. Sound • 1. What two things do you need for sound to be heard? • A vibration and a medium (anything sound can travel through-air-water) • 2. What is sound made up of? • Compressed medium • 3. What does an oscilloscope do? • Measures pitch or wavelength of the sound also the amplitude.

  48. Crest Trough Wavelength Amplitude Remember this?

  49. 4. Explain how sound travels through air, space, steel or water. • Air - slow • Space - does not travel at all • Water - somewhat fast • Steel - very fast • 5. What materials could you use to absorb sound, why would you want to absorb sound? Where does the sound energy go? • Fiberglass sound board is very good because the fiberglass vibrates and heats up. This is used to quiet room.

  50. 6. What does SONAR stand for? • Sound Navigation Ranging • 7. What is the speed of sound? Compare this to the speed of light. • Solid - 5000 meters/second • Water - 1460 meters/second • Air - 335 meters/second • Compared to light which is 300,000,000 meter/second • 8. Define frequency, ultrasonic and pitch • how fast a wave travels or how many cycles per second. Defined in Hertz • Ultrasonic is up to and over 20,000 Hertz & pitch is high and low notes.
