M3 Final s1 Flashcards
group of waves
mechanical waves- through a material medium (solid, liquid, or gas)
electromagnetic waves- travels and transfer through empty space
type of mechanical waves
1.Longitudinal wave
2.transverse wave
Electromagnetic Spectrum (1)
Radio
Microwave
Infrared
Electromagnetic Spectrum (2)
visible
ultrasound
x-ray
gramma rays
Parts of curved mirror (C) (V) (F) (P) (R) (f)
center of curvature
Vertex
Focus
Principle axis
Radius of curvature
Focal length
reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets, resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.
Rainbow
happens when light bends because of hot air near the ground. It makes you see things, like water on a road or objects in strange places, that aren’t really there. It’s just a trick of light caused by heat.
A mirage
Occurs when light from the sun or moon shines through ice crystals in the atmosphere
Halos
Earth rotate around the sun the axis tilted about ??
23.5 degree
Lunar phase
the distance between two identical points
Wavelength
It is the maximum height from the center line to the crest or the trough.
The crest is the highest point of the wave and the trough is the lowest point of the wave.
is measured in meters.
Amplitude
tells you how quickly the wave is moving forward.
