What does reflection mean
Reflection is the return of light or sound waves from a surface
1 of 16
Meaning of refraction
The bending of light rays when it travels from one medium to another.
2 of 16
The law of reflection
When a ray encounters a reflective surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection
3 of 16
Law of refraction
Light changes direction as it passes from one medium to another
4 of 16
What light and sound have in common and how there different
Light and sound are both waves but light is much faster
5 of 16
different types of electromagnetic radiation
Radio waves, microwaves, infared, ultraviolet
6 of 16
what is static electricity
Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges
7 of 16
Current electricity
Current electricity is caused by the movement of charge or electrons
8 of 16
What materials are good and bad conductors
Good conductors are metals like copper
bad are glass, plastic, rubber, air and wood
9 of 16
How transverse and longitudinal waves move
Transverse waves move perpendicular to the direction of the wave. Longitudinal waves move parallel to the direction of the wave
10 of 16
What happens when light passes through convex and concave lenses
Convex converges rays of light that are parallel to to its principal axis. concave magnify and diverges straight lines
11 of 16
Difference between light and sound waves
light is a transverse wave and sound is
longitudinal
12 of 16
frequency and pitch
Frequency is the number of cycles in a wave for a second. Pitch is our interpenetration of the frequency of a sound wave
13 of 16
What the decibel scale measures
measure different levels of sound and which ones are safe and harmful.
14 of 16
purpose of battery in a circuit
Battery is the main source of energy that provides voltage which allows the current to flow through.
