Q

WHat is newtons first law of motion?

A

a moving object will continue to move at the same speed unless an external force acts on it.

A

usefulenergy/totalenergy

38
Q

What do waves do?

A

they transfer energy/ information without transferring matter!

39
Q

WHat is the amplitude?

A

the distance between the middle line and a crest
the maximum displacement of a wave particle from equilibrium [metres]

40
Q

What is wavlenth

A

the distance from crest to crest
the distance between one crest/trough to the next crest/trough

41
Q

Transverse

A

the oscillations are perpendicular to the wave’s direction of travel

42
Q

Longitudal

A

the oscillations are parallel to the wave’s direction of travel

43
Q

Frequency in waves

A

how many waves pass every second [Hertz

44
Q

Speed in waves

A

how fast a wave travels [metres per second]

45
Q

Speed of a wave equation

A

v = f x λ

46
Q

What is ultra sound?

A

sound over 20khs (humans cant hear)

47
Q

WHat is darkness?

A

the absence of light

48
Q

Why do we have colors?

A

Certain colours can be seen because different materials reflect certain frequencies of light.

49
Q

Diffuse reflection

A

Materials with rough surfaces reflect light in all directions. We call this…

50
Q

Specular relection

A

Highly polished materials, like mirrors, or my car, reflect light evenly. This is known as…​

51
Q

Diffusion

A

Spreading out of ( High concentration - Low)

52
Q

Visible spectrum

A

The range of colors/ light we can see

53
Q

How does color reflection work?

A

If soething is a certain color, it absorbs all other frequencies of light then that color. It reflects the color is appears as, that how we can see it.
