Waves Flashcards
The primary colours of light are
Green, Blue and Red
Light is a
Transverse wave
Transverse wave’s vibrations are
Perpendicular
The superposition
Where 2 waves come together and their displacements combine
The Angle of incidence is the same as
The angle of reflection
White light is made of
All the colours in the spectrum
red has the
Longest wavelength in the spectrum
Grass
Absorbs all colours except green which is reflected
Light can only travel in
Straight lines
In the retina all images will appear
Upside down
Sound waves are caused by
Vibrations from objects/particles
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as
it needs particles to vibrate
The more particles
The faster the wave travels
The frequency is
The number of waves passed through a point per second
Frequency is measured in
Hertz(Hz)
