Waves Flashcards
Where is the Peak on a wave (transverse)
At the top
What are the two types of waves
Transverse and longitudinal
Where is the trough on a wave (transverse)
At the bottom
What is the place with a high energy called on a longitudal wave
Compression
What is the place with a low energy called on a longitudal wave
Rarefraction
Where is the wavelength on a longitudinal wave
Between 2 areas of compression
Draw a sketch of light reflecting on a mirror and label
DRAWN
Are the angle of incidence and angle of reflection the same
Yes
On a rought surface does the angle of incidents and the angle of reflection stay the same
No
What happens in refraction
As light travels through different medians/masses, the speed changes. Thus changes the direction
Process of seeing using the eye
Light bounces of objects into our eyes specifically the pupil which creates a image to the retina which then electrical impulses carry to the brain and help us see an image
