Waves, Sounds And The Big Bang Physic Flashcards
What are the 2 main waves called?
Longitudinal waves
Transverse waves
What direction does transverse waves go?
Side to side but going at a 90 angle
What is amplitude in a wave?
Amplitude is the height from the wave crest
What is frequency in a wave?
Frequency is the number of wave crests passing a point per one second.
What is wavelength?
wavelength is the distance from one wave crest to the next wave crest.
What is the normal humans earning frequency?
20Hz to 20,000Hz
What wave is sound?
Sound is a longitudinal wave
Farrier we go away in space, what happens to the red shift?
It gets greater
Is red shift a transverse wave?
Yes
What is red shift?
Increase in the wavelength in light
What are the 3 main point about the Big Bang?
Single point
explosion
Universe is expanding
Why is there red shift
The galaxy are moving away
Explain why the 3 main point prove about the Big Bang theory?
Single point- reverse red shift galaxies started at single point
Exploring- further galaxies more red shift = moving faster
Universe exploring- all galaxies show red shift, all moving away from each other
What is CMBR
Cosmic microwave background radiation
