Wavies Flashcards
Tension is
Stretching
Reflection means
Bouncing of light
Resultant force is
How much the force moves/vibrates something.
The Lens is the
Part in the eye that refracts light
Dispersion is
Making all the different colours of the rainbow from a white light.
What r the key features of a wave
Amplitude, wavelength, peak (or crest) and trough.
Wot is amplitude
The distance from the middle of the wave to the top or bottom of the wave
Wot is the trough
The bottom of the wave
Wot is the peak (or crest)
The top of the wave
Wot is the law of reflection
The law of reflection is that the angle of incidence will be the same as the angle of reflection.
Wot is a force
A force is something being pushed or pulled
Contact force is a?
Force that touches something to make the force
Non-contact force is a?
Force that doesn’t touch anything as the force is doing something
Force diagram is a ?
Diagram that shows all the forces that are in place
Newtons are?
A measurement on how much force something is
Newton metre
A piece of equipment to measure newtons
Deform
When something compresses
Compress
When something is squashed
Reaction force
This is a counter for a force
Extension
When something elongates
Elastic limit
When something can’t stretch any more
Hooke’s law is
If u double the weight, the length will also double
Balanced forces
Two or more forces that have no affect on each other
Unbalanced forces
A force that is stronger than the other
Weight
The forces of gravity times how heavy you r
Friction is
A force that slows things down as it rubs on something else
Air resistance/drag is
A force that slows u down when u move fast
Gravity is
The force that pulls us down and keeps un on the Earth
Water resistance
The current that pulls us back in water
Streamlined means
That something is more air resistant
Thrust is
The force that makes your car move
Upthrust is
The force that keeps you floating in water
‘Refraction’ means
‘The bending of light
Wavelength is
The distance between one part of a wave to the same part on another wave
What is the pupil
A Hole in the iris
The 3 affects of forces are
Movement, push and pull
