Sound and Light

Is related to the frequency of sound waves . A high pitch is made from something being being vibrated fast.

The particles in the air vibrate in the direction the wave goes .

Is a sound that is below the range of human hearing .

Any sound above human hearing range

Is when a object vibrates so much that it causes the object to vibrate as well.

Describes the rate at which a sound wave transmits energy through a given area of the medium .

Is a unit rate of which sound is measured by.

When a frequency of a wave is also the frequency of the vibrations .

When something vibrates at its fundamental frequency and at certain whole number multiples of that frequency .

Determines distance by measuring the time it takes for sound waves to be reflected back to the source .

Long flexible membrane that is in the cochlea

A unit or quantum of light .

Measures the amount of light illuminating or measures how intense the light is .

A system that uses reflected radio waves to determine velocity and location of objects .

Consist of light at all possible energies frequencies and wavelengths

A light Ray is a imaginary line that goes in the same direction that the light travels .

Is a image that you see from a apparent path of light rays .

A real image is a result from when light rays are focused into one specific point .

Is the reflection of light when the incident ray is reflected .

Are transparent material that refracts light waves to make them converge or diverge to create a image .

It is a change in size compared to the object .

They separate white light from different colors .

Is what separates colors from other colors in light waves .

Is when you look at a road on a hot day and see water on the road that is reflected from the atmosphere to the road .
