Reflection Wave Behavior |
waves bounce off smooth surfaces
|
|
|
|
Interference Wave Behavior |
Where waves overlap; types: constructive= crest+crest or trough+trough Destructive= crest&trough overlap |
|
|
|
Diffraction Wave Behavior |
Bending a wave arround a barrier |
|
|
|
Deflect |
wave bends due to changing medium |
|
|
|
Frequencies Heard by People |
20-20,000 Hz |
|
|
|
Amplitude/Frequency Indicates Energy Level of Waves |
Higher amplitudes (crests/troughs) have more energy Shorter wavelengths create high frequency |
|
|
|
Convert the formula to solve for wavelength and/or frequency and be able to solve problems |
S=WF W=S/F F=S/W |
|
|
Label the Parts of a transverse wave diagram |
Equilibrium is also known as Crest |
|
|
|
State the Difference in EM Waves and Mechanical Waves in Terms of Medium |
EM waves dont require a medium to move through |
|
|
|
Layout of EM Spectum |
long wavelength=Short Wavelength Short Wavelength=High Frequency Low Energy=Safe High Energy=Dangerous |
wavelength, frequency, energy&safety |
|
|
Order of the Colors of light |
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet |
ROY G BIV |
|
|
Types of EM Waves and Examples of Each |
X-Ray:medical GammaRay-treat cancer Ultraviolet-tanning bed Light-roy g biv Infrared-camera (red) Radio-AM, FM& TV Microwave-Cell Phonesµwave |
|
|
|
Relationship between frequency, wavelength and pitch |
Wavelength frequency are inversely proportionalShort wavelength=higher frequency Long Wavelength=low freqiemcy and pitch are directly proportional |
|
|
