Q

Transmitted Heat

A

When heat passes through something such as a window.

20
Q

Absorbed Heat

A

When heat is taken in or gone through something.

21
Q

Thermal Energy

A

Energy in an object because the particles move in the object.

22
Q

Deciduous

A

In winter and autumn when plants lose their leaves.

23
Q

Luminous

A

An object that transmit heat when it’s hot.

24
Q

Incandescent

A

A produce light which is being heated.

25
Q

Bioluminescent

A

A produce of light from a living organism.

26
Q

Non-luminous

A

An object that does not produce light. They reflect light.

27
Q

Scattered

A

Small particles in a substance which sent light into different directions.

28
Q

Visible spectrum

A

They are different colors which combine together which produces white lights. These colors cut apart in rainbows.

29
Q

Dispersion

A

They are colors which are separate to produce white light. Each colour is differently bent when it comes in and out of the glass prism.

30
Q

Electromagnetic Radiation

A

It’s radiant energy that release by magnetic or electric fields such as radio waves, visible light, X-Rays and gamma rays.

31
Q

Electromagnetic Spectrum

A

Wavelength of radiant electricity such as electric and magnetic fields.

32
Q

Radiant electricity

A

Electromagnetic waves with low energy, lower frequency and longer wavelength that are longer than visible light.

33
Q

Infra-red radiation

A

Electromagnetic waves with low energy, lower frequency and longer wavelength that are longer than visible light.

34
Q

Ultraviolet radiation

A

Radiation that are invisible to light but it has a bit more higher frequency and more energy.

35
Q

X-Rays

A

High electromagnetic energy waves which pass through the human skin and through solid objects.

36
Q

Gamma rays

A

High electromagnetic energy waves which make a nuclear reactions.

37
Q

Vibrations

A

Something repeated fast that makes back-and-forth movements.

38
Q

Compression

A

It is when a material is pushing down on itself.

39
Q

Rarefactions

A

The layers of air particles that are separated which are in sound waves.

40
Q

Sound waves

A

Particles in the air that vibrates.

41
Q

Frequency

A

Is how much vibrations in one second or in a wavelength in one second.

42
Q

Hertz

A

Is the units of measuring frequency. One hertz is one vibration every second.

43
Q

Pitch

A

Is the sound when it highness or lowness. It depends on the vibrating air.

44
Q

Wavelength

A

Is known as the distance between two neighbouring from a wave.

45
Q

Amplitude

A

The maximum distance when a particle moves away from it’s original position.

46
Q

Reverberation

A

A longest sound which was created by reduplicated reflection from a solid surface.
