Light Flashcards
How is frequency related to energy?
Higher frequency = More energy
In which medium does sound travel the best in?
Solid - It vibrates better when sound travels through it
In reflection, how is the angle of incidence related to the angle of reflection?
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
In refraction, will the angle of refraction be smaller or larger than the angle of incidence when traveling from a less dense medium to a more dense medium?
The angle of refraction will be smaller than the angle of incidence - r < i
In refraction, will the angle of refraction be smaller or larger than the angle of incidence when traveling from a more dense medium to a less dense medium?
The angle of refraction will be larger than the angle of incidence - r > i
How is frequency related to wavelength
Higher frequency = shorter wavelength
When does the light bend in refraction?
The light ray bends when it enters a more/less dense medium than what it is in.
In which medium does light travel the best in?
Gas - No/Little particles that reflect the light ray
