Waves
  1. Sound Waves
    1. Sound requires a medium to travel
      1. Sound waves are mechanical waves meaning that something has to be done for them to be trasnferred
        1. sound waves are constant and so they are always there and only change when something takes effect
        2. Transverse waves
          1. Types of Waves
            1. Radio Waves
              1. Smallest wave
              2. Micro waves
                1. Is the only wave to pass through the ionsphere without being confused with other waves.
                2. Infrared radiation
                  1. Visible on hot objects
                  2. Visible light
                    1. Has 7 kinds in a spectrum
                    2. Ultra Voilet
                      1. Kills Bacteria
                      2. X-rays
                        1. Allows us to see bones
                        2. Gamma Rays
                          1. Very harmful
                        3. Properties of waves
                          1. they all travel at 300,000,000 m/s
                            1. Most of them need mediums to travel
                              1. they are all effected by refraction, reflection, defraction
                              2. The Doppler Effect
                                1. The further the waves are the less frequent the waves are
                                  1. the more the object moves towards you the more frequent the waves are
                                    1. if an object is moving towards you the object is blue
                                      1. if an object is moving away from you the object is red
